On Sunday July 20th our 11 am service will be led by one of the Assistant Bishops of the diocese: Bishop Anne Hollinghurst. In this service she will baptise two people from St Mary's, and also confirm people from St Mary's, from Wribbenhall and our neighbouring parish Kidderminster West.
Confirmation is when people who have been baptised (in recent times or years ago) wish to "confirm" what was done at their baptism, and "confirm" for themselves what was said on their behalf. The Bishop confirms them by laying a hand on them, anointing their forehead with blessed oil, and praying for the Holy Spirit of God to be present in them. This act is also confirming the love and grace of God towards them.
Baptism and confirmation are significant moments in a person's Christian journey.
All are welcome to come and share in this service.
