Baptism and Confirmation Preparation
On Sunday 5th July during the morning service at St Paul’s, Bishop James – the Bishop of Plymouth - will be baptising and/or confirming candidates from across the parish.
If you have never been baptised or confirmed, and you would like to find out more about taking this step of obedience in baptism and/or being confirmed into the Church of England, please get in touch with Dave as soon as possible. Contact details are: Tel 01626 335862 or email rector@newtonabbotparishes.co.uk
There will be separate two preparation courses: one for children and young people aged 12 to 18, and one for adults. If you have children younger than 12 who wish to be baptised, please speak to Dave as well. Preparation classes for them will be held separately.
