That foundation is baptism. Baptism is the e ntry into the Body of Christ. It is where you are received into the Churc h\, united with Christ and where you become part of the Christian family. Before anything else baptism comes first. Confirmation is the strengthen ing and affirmation of that baptismal faith. \nIt is a public declaration of faith\, a personal ownership of what has begun in Baptism and a moment where the Bishop lays hands and prays for the grace of the Holy Spirit. \ n\nIf you are interested in being baptised or confirmed please contact Rev Sue Round sue.round@st-toms.com . \n\nOur confirmation course begins on Sunday 26th April after morning worship at 11.45am and will last between just over an hour. \n\nThe Confirmation Service will be held at St Thomas on Sunday 13th September 4pm.
