A very joyous and uplifting service this morning at St Catherine's Elizabeth Downs. It was a delight to confirm four persons, each of whom had recently been baptised, and to join this warm and generous parish for worship and fellowship afterwards.

One of those confirming her faith in Jesus today was Rebecca, who told Karen and I she had felt for some time there must be more to life and that something was missing. Rebecca was warmly welcomed when she walked in to St Catherine's one Sunday for the first time early this year.

"Do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:3–4).

It was a very encouraging time of fellowship over a shared lunch, to hear about what God is doing among those present, and to pray for the current, emerging and future leaders of our Diocese.
