Service of Confirmation

On Sunday 20th June, we welcomed Right Reverend Paul Williams, the Bishop of Kensington, to All Saints’ to lead a service of Confirmation.

Two of the people confirmed say what it meant to them ...

"Since having our daughter... I have been immensely aware of how precious life is and what a precious gift she is.  This experience has led me to many questions on faith, the meaning of our existence and belief.  Since our daughter’s christening, we have slowly become more involved and aware of what it means to have faith in our lives....  This confirmation is my way of saying thank you to God for blessing us with not only a beautiful child but for guiding us in a direction which we might not have taken."                                Nisia Studzinska

"I feel ready to affirm a commitment to the church, and the worship of Jesus Christ. I have embarked upon a journey of faith, and although I recognize I have a long way to go on that journey, (and indeed it is a journey without end) this is an important step on that journey.... Confirmation will express my desire to grow in faith and serve as a declaration of turning to Christ."            Richard Walsh
