At the 6.00 p.m. service on Sunday, 3rd June, three adults and five young people were confirmed by Bishop Clive as his very last act as bishop in this diocese.  At a very moving and spirit-filled moment Bishop Clive launched these eight new members of the church on their new life in Christ, while a few hours later he and his wife Jane were taken to the airport to return to the UK to continue their life of retirement.  Our prayers and good wishes go with them.

Those confirmed that day are:

Adults
Janine Latham (baptised and confirmed)
Jonathan Barnett
Fiona Barnett

Youngsters
Charles Andrews
Omojola Oyebanjo
Mallika Salve (Fr. Victor's granddaughter from India)
Fiona Quirke
Laura Wilkie

Our grateful thanks to Beth Becker for devoting so much of her time on Friday mornings preparing the young people for confirmation
