It was a beautiful event of worship and gathering in fellowship and love in the name of Jesus Christ, to give thanks for the commitment our two young confirmands made this day.</p>
<p class="p1">Wyatt Taylor and Jeanette House Blackwood were confirmed in the presence of God, Bishop John, the Rev’d Marie Smith, the Rev’d Deacon Ida Patey, their parents, family, and friends.</p>

<p class="p1">A wonderful year of study and learning resulted in the two receiving a certificate for completion of the <i>Grow in the Spirit </i>confirmation programme. During the session on stewardship, the children sold writing pens with the parish name inscribed on them, and they raised $382 to donate to PWRDF.</p>
<p class="p1">We wish Wyatt and Jeanette every blessing in their life and pray they follow the path Jesus has set for them.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">The Rt. Rev’d John Organ held confirmation on November 20th, 2022, in the church of St. John the Divine in Port Saunders. This fine group of nine young men and women from Port au Choix, Port Saunders, and River of Ponds, enjoyed their time with our bishop, and the following celebration with family and friends in the hall, while sharing in the refreshments and cake. Certificates of completion of the confirmation program and certificates of confirmation were proudly presented and received. During the stewardship unit of the course, the students raised funds, in the amount of $287, by selling their homemade cookies (with help from their families, of course). The money will go to PWRDF to aid of Ukrainian children. We wish them many blessings, and pray that this experience and learning is just the beginning in their faith development and journey.</p>
