Adult Confirmation - June 26, 3pm
Do you want to know more about the Episcopal church, history and faith? Have you been "confirmed as a Catholic or Lutheran" and want to become an "official" Episcopalian? If you have already been confirmed then you can simply be "received" into the Episcopal Church by the Bishop. Or do you want to "refresh" and renew your baptismal vows? Mo. Paula would like to meet with any adults who would like to receive this sacrament or learn more or update their faith. There will be 2 sessions; dates TBD by group. Bishop Diane will be presiding at Eucharist and this sacrament on June 26 at 3pm at St. Cross. There will be a special teen preparation offered in 2017.  Please contact Mo. Paula through the church office - 310 375-4617 x223, her email, or see her in person after coffee hour, etc.
