Welcome to the Abbey today as we celebrate as the family of

today confirm the promises made on their behalf at baptism. A
very warm welcome to their families and friends as you come
to support them. We welcome Bishop Stephen Pedley as our
president and preacher this morning. During communion all are
invited to come forward for bread and wine or a blessing – if
for a blessing simply keep your head bowed.
