Bishop Mark made a very special trip to Sunderland on Sunday
8th February to lead confirmation services in both St. Andrew’s
and St. Peter’s.
Born out of a question by one person on how they could be
confirmed, eventually Malcolm Drummond, Ian Edwards and brothers Edward and
Elliott Keelty were presented at St. Andrew’s, while Maulid Tajir, Ashley
Heatlie, sisters Georgia & Amelia Burden and their mother Barbara were all
confirmed at St. Peter’s. It was an extra special occasion for Maulid who was
also baptised by the Bishop during the service.
Bishop Mark spoke passionately about both receiving and
showing the love of Christ in our lives, calling on those present to seek
understanding over judgement and impressing on all the world-changing power of
the Holy Spirit working in our lives.
Please continue to pray for all the candidates as they continue their journey with Christ.
