Confirmation Class Information

Confirmation is the rite in which we express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop. Book of Common Prayer, pg 860.

Every two years, Bishop Gordon Scruton makes an Episcopal Visit to Trinity. During the visit, the Bishop celebrates Eucharist with us, and he confirms, receives and baptizes candidates from the parish. Our next Episcopal Visit will happen in 2012. In preparation for his visit, Pam Hennessy and Fr. Mac will lead the Youth Confirmation Class for all those young people who would like to be confirmed. At Confirmation, we affirm the vows made for us at Baptism by our parents and godparents. The class which will meet on the first and third Sundays of the month (starting on October 17th) from 11:30am to 1pm.

Resources

The Bible is the foundation of all Christian belief. The Bible Gateway gives access to several translations of the Bible into English and many other languages.

Our Sunday readings at Trinity are taken from the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) of the Bible. This version, and a few others are available online thanks to the Oremus Bible Browser.

The Book of Common Prayer unites us as Episcopalians, providing the form of worship for our services. As you prepare for Confirmation, you need a copy of the Book of Common Prayer. You can borrow one from Trinty.

You can also find an excellent, indexed, Book of Common Prayer online, thanks to St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church in Oakwood GA.
