Confirmation

Today I was received by Confirmation into the Episcopal Church as a member of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church. The Right Reverend Alan Scarfe presided over the service, assisted by Rev. Mary and Rev. Elizabeth. Bev was my sponsor; she and Dottie stood with me as the Bishop laid hands on my head and confirmed me. My heart is overflowing with the love and welcome that this church has bestowed on me. I am truly blessed to have been directed to St. Tim's. This is what the pewter plaque says:
"Confirmed in Christ
Strengthen me, O Lord
with your Holy Spirit.
Empower me for your service
And sustain me all the days of my life.
Amen"
