Confirmation Courses
Courses leading candidates to confirmation are held annually at St Mary's.
Confirmation Service 2010
St Mary's church was well packed with people on a lovely sunny Sunday when Bishop Laurie baptised 2 candiates and then confirmed 11 members of our congregation on Sunday 23rd May. They were joined by 4 candidates from St Peter's, South Weald and 2 from St Andrew's, Rochford.
The candiates were supported by their families and many of the congregation. St Mary's candidates will be attending their first Sunday communion on Sunday 30th May where they will be welcomed by the congregation and the Rector.
