This Sunday St. Bart’s will welcome our Bishop Philip Jones as he confirms the newest members of our growing family. Bishop Philip will lead us in this sacramental moment in the Church when the "grace of the Holy Spirit is conveyed in a new or fuller way to those who have already received it” through baptism and their life of faith.
Confirmation is the final step of Membership at St. Bart's, so we’ll be welcoming new people into the church and into the global Anglican family. The Confirmation Service is always powerful as Bishop Jones will call friends and family members up to surround the confirmands. Then, in a moment of quiet and waiting on the Lord, he lays hands on each confirmand and prays specifically for them.
Come expectant and prayerful for those who are being confirmed and joining the Church - I’ve listed their names below so you can pray for them. And, come ready for God to move in your own life as you participate and experience.
