Another memorable confirmation service tonight, this year at St Paul's Goodmayes. Bishop David and his assistant chef for the evening, Chris Peck, baked a chocolate cake in the sermon as an illustration of Jesus' story in which the kingdom of God is compared to yeast (or other raising agents such as baking powder). In this story, a little has a significant transformative effect. Bishop David called for the confirmation candidates, and all present, to allow the Holy Spirit to transform us so that we can in turn be transformative agents in society. We had four candidates in a service that was shared with St Paul's Goodmayes and St Nicholas Elm Park. Confirmation preparation was shared with young people from St Paul's and the whole group also went on the Diocesan confirmation weekend. All of which means that it is possible that they will continuing meeting together as a group as they seek to grow in their faith.
