Deanery Confirmation

St Paul’s Egham Hythe hosted the first of this year’s two Deanery Confirmation services on Sunday
12 May. Beautiful weather provided the perfect backdrop as Charlotte Bradley, Leigh Doe and Anthony Kermode from St Paul’s Egham Hythe, Rebbecca Sherston from Holy Trinity Lyne and Longcross and Joel Willmer from Christ Church Virginia Water were confirmed by Bishop Andrew. Mari, Anthony’s wife, was received into the Church of England at the same time. There was a tangible sense of joy around the service as candidates from the North, West and South of the Deanery made their commitments. St Paul’s renowned hospitality was on display as food and refreshments were enjoyed in a sun-bathed church after the service.                                by Steve Baynes
