Confirming God’s Work of Faith

This Sunday we’ll continue in the joy of the Great 50 Days of Easter with Confirmations. Our Bishop, The Rt. Rev. Philip Jones will lead us in this sacramental moment in the Church when the "grace of the Holy Spirit is conveyed in a new or fuller way to those who have already received it” through baptism. 

 

Confirmation is the last step of Membership at All Saints East Dallas, so we’ll be welcoming new people into the church and into the global Anglican family. In addition, we’ll have 4 junior high students who have completed the Youth Confirmation Class under the direction of Warren Sibley, our volunteer youth coordinator. 

 

The Confirmation Service is always powerful as Bishop Jones will call friends and family members up to surround the confirmands. Then, in a moment of quiet and waiting on the Lord, he lays hands on each confirmand and prays specifically for them.

 

Come expectant and prayerful for those who are being confirmed and joining the Church. And come ready for God to move in your own life. 

 

See you Sunday!

As we behold the face of God in the face of Christ, we are transformed into his image. This is what it means to be fully human—to become like Jesus, the truly human one, and to grow more and more in the freedom of the children of God.
