We are hoping to have a confirmation service at St Edmund's during 2020.If you, or someone you know, would like to take this wonderful step please speak to one of the clergy in church or contact Rev Paul directly.Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptized. If you were baptized at a christening when you were a child, your parents and godparents made these promises on your behalf. As a young person or adult, you may be ready to affirm these promises for yourself and commit your life to following Jesus Christ. At a confirmation service, you make these promises for yourself. Your friends and family as well as the local Christian community will be there to promise to support and pray for you.If you are unsure if confirmation is the right step for you at this time, you may find it helpful to visit the Church of England website where some 'frequently asked questions' are explored. For planning purposes it would be helpful if you can contact the St Edmund's clerical team by Easter (mid April 2020).
