Bishop Stokes will be visiting us on Sunday, November 13 (St. Martin’s Sunday). On this Sunday youth and adults will be Confirmed by the laying on of hands by the Bishop. Newcomers who were confirmed in the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, or Lutheran Churches may be received by the laying on of the hands by the Bishop, thereby becoming a full member of the Episcopal Church.
If you wish to be confirmed (youth and adults), or if you are already confirmed and wish to be received as a full member of St. Martin’s, or if you are confirmed and wish to reaffirm your faith in a public way, see the links below for guidelines and class schedule.
