Several of our young people take part in the service by serving at Holy Communion, processing with the candles and the cross and helping the clergy in the preparation of the bread and wine.  Training is provided so that the practice and the underlying meaning of the various rituals are understood.  Contact the Parish Office for more information.

Each year a number of adults and young people decide to make a public commitment to the faith of the Church through confirmation.  Preparation classes are provided to enable them to learn more about the Christian faith.  Talk to the Rector if you are interested.

 Sometimes we all need help and advice or just a sympathetic ear.  Some of our church members are trained listeners or are able to offer help in parenting skills; others may have experienced the same difficulties as you are going through.
