X Confirmation by Bishop Michael

The Clockspire Restaurant

I wonder if you have heard about the ‘Quiet Revival’? It’s a reported, low-key, yet significant surge in interest in Christianity and church attendance, particularly among young adults (18-34) in the UK. It highlights a shift towards a more active, intentional faith, emphasising Bible engagement and community, and it’s often driven by personal invitations from friends. 

Anecdotally I have heard about many young people locally who are questioning ‘What’s it all about’ and exploring whether faith can offer any answers. Therefore, it seems a perfect time to be offering not only local confirmation classes, but also a Confirmation service in our Benefice in the Summer.

Please extend this invitation to any who would be interested in hearing more about the Christian faith. Each session will offer a chance to reflect, to talk honestly, and to deepen your understanding of what it means to live as a disciple of Christ.

It seems a long time ago that we celebrated the end of winter with our now regular Marmalade Festival at 55 London Road. Now it’s time to enjoy summer and Frank and I would like to invite you all to a Cream Tea (in the garden if the weather allows) on Sunday, 19th July from 2.30-4.30pm.

Please sign the list in Church to give us some indication of numbers attending.

Many thanks. Maureen Wright
