Thinking about Confirmation?
The Rt Revd John Thomson, Bishop of Selby will be coming to the Benefice on Sunday 1st May at 6pm to lead a Confirmation Service.
We currently have a monthly course running for 4 adults and are planning to run weekly confirmation courses starting very soon, both for adults and for teenagers. If you are interested (or know anyone who might be) in considering Confirmation (you can do the course without committing yourself to being confirmed at the end of it), please speak to Jackie Doyle-Brett or Tricia West as soon as possible. To be confirmed you must be of at least Secondary School age.
The courses will run on a mutually suitable evening for those who express an interest.
