Bishop Kym is pleased to be celebrating regional in-person Confirmations again this spring and summer and it’s not too late to prepare! The confirmations for our High Plains Region will be held on August 14, 2021 at St. John's Cathedral in Denver.
Confirmation is the sacramental rite in which the candidates "express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop" (BCP, p. 860).
Reception is for persons who have been baptized with water in the name of the Trinity, have previously made an adult public affirmation of faith in any other Christian Communion (either at
their Baptism or on a separate occasion) and now desire to live their faith within the fellowship of the
Episcopal Church.
If you desire to be confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church this summer there are two paths of preparation for you. Journey to Confirmation: 4-Week Confirmation Preparation Series with Groups for Adults & Youth will be provided by the diocese over ZOOM April 25, May 2, 8 (Saturday), and 16, 1:00-2:15 pm.
The Rev. Terri Hobart will also offer preparation classes over four Sunday afternoons this summer. Please email Terri+ if you are interested in confirmation or confirmation classes.
All are encouraged to join the classes even if they may not feel ready to commit to confirmation, reception or re-affirmation of their faith this year. This is a great opportunity to learn more about our faith, theology, liturgy, polity and traditions.
