Your friends and family as well as the local Christian community will be there to promise to support and pray for you.
The local bishop will lay their hands on your head and ask God’s Holy Spirit to give you the strength and commitment to live God’s way for the rest of your life.

During Rogationtide—the fifth week after Easter—villagers, with the minister and other local dignitaries, would walk the parish bounds. The children would carry willow wands with which to beat the boundary markers.
Beating the bounds is just as important today. It reminds our local community that we have a common or green with a boundary to be guarded, and in the process also shows them how much enjoyment and interest the area has to offer. It’s a practical and enjoyable way to protect a valuable part of our heritage.
