On 20 September the Bishop of Colchester presided over a joyful confirmation service at St Mary the Virgin Wivenhoe when seven candidates, ranging in age from under 20 to 80 years, were confirmed during the morning service. Before tucking into the celebratory cake afterwards, Bishop Roger and the group  gathered with St Mary’s rector the Rev Erwin Lammens in the sunshine outside the church so the happy event could be recorded photographically.
Our warmest congratulations go to the newly confirmed: Liz, Tricia, Mieke, Dirk, Enid, Caroline and Teresa!
