Confirmation 2009

At the evening service on 17th May 2009, The Bishop Right Reverend Alan Abernethy preformed a confirmation service at St Nicholas. Thirteen young people and three adults were confirmed during the service and received their first communion to finish the service. The candidates were supported by family and friends during the service and it was pleasing to see so many there to give the support. Confirmation is an important step in the lives of the young people and adults. Confirmation is the public acknowledgment of their faith in Christ and fulfilling the promises made on their behalf during their baptism. The candidates took part in four weeks of preparation and instruction led by Andrew Campbell the youth minister in the church. It is a joy to see young people who came through the Sunday school and bible classes coming forward to confirmation establishing themselves as members of the church. We look forward to seeing them grow and flourish and their commitment to the christian life prosper and grow through the years. Eventually they will be the church and as the more mature members of the church retire from active duty these younger fresh christians will step into the various rolls within the church carrying the christian faith into the community for the future. We also had three adults take confirmation and this is a testament to the good work of the ministry team in the church. These adults having attended church and hearing the ministry have decided to come forward and commit to the christian life thus adding much need strength to the body of the church. As a church we welcome these adults and young people and we will continue to support them in their walk with Christ. After the service we retired to the church halls where everyone enjoyed fellowship and refreshments. The newly confirmed were congratulated and many of the members of the church took the opportunity to give words of encouragement and support.

God's gospel

As a church we are committed to the gospel which God gave through his apostles and prophets in the Bible.

The message which God speaks as we read the Bible is at the heart of Christianity and it is really quite simple: either Jesus is your king or you're going it alone.

There are two ways to live:
