Sunday, November 9, Bishop Mike Stewart will be joining us for our Eucharist Service at Emmaus Road Anglican Chruch. During the service, he will confirm those who desire to receive this sacrament.
Confirmation is a sacrament "where people who have been baptized are released into ministry through the laying on of hands by the Bishop." - To Be A Christian, An Anglican Catechism It is often referred to as 'lay ordination', and is a beautiful opportunity to receive the laying on of hands and prayer that the Holy Spirit would fill and empower you in a special way as you seek to walk out your calling as a part of Christ's Church.
We are excited about this service and encourage you to consider being confirmed if you haven't already taken that step. In preparation for this service, those who wish to be confirmed or would like to learn more about the sacrament of confirmation are invited to a Confirmation Class following our service on Sunday, October 19.
