Notes and News
CONFIRMATION –
Sunday 20th November, 4.30pm at East Dean - with Bishop Richard Jackson. Confirmation is a way of publicly confirming our faith in Jesus Christ as Lord (hence the word “confirmation”). That’s the most important thing - being admitted to Communion and being able to receive bread and wine during those services by becoming a member of the Church of England.
Please speak to David if you are interested in finding out more about being confirmed.
