Dear Friends in Christ,
Today at our 10:30 a.m. service we welcome our Bishop, The Rt. Rev’d Cyrus Pitman. We ask your continued prayer for our Bishop and the ongoing work of the Diocese. We also welcome family and friends of our 21 Confirmation candidate. We ask your continued prayers for them.
To the Confirmation Class of 2012:
You have now come to the beginning of your adult profession of faith. You now, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit take ownership of your Baptism with the laying on of hands by Bishop Pitman. Your Christian witness, as a young person, is a powerful statement to the world. The Church needs your voice and youthful presence to fully be the Body of Christ.
I want to say thank you to Donald Sparkes and Sharon Smith, for giving of their time to this confirmation class. Your willingness to do this speaks volumes to your commitment to this church and its ongoing mission.
We have exciting things planned for you and other young people in our church in the months ahead. I encourage you to continue with us on this Journey of Faith.
