Confirmation of Faith

The Pipers Corner School annual service of confirmation took place on Tuesday in the School Chapel. The day was the culmination of three months of preparation undertaken by the girls. During that time they met weekly, after school, for a programme of teaching which was shared between Head of Religious Studies, Mrs Gledhill and the School Chaplain, Revd Mary Gurr.

The girls being confirmed were – Lily F (Year 11), Romilly J (Year 10), Kayleigh L (Year 6), Lucy M (Year 7), Antigone R (Year 11) and Rebecca W (Year 10).

The service was presided over by The Rt Revd Mr Henry Scriven, Honorary Bishop, and was a joyous occasion for all girls and their guests. During the service the Bishop spoke about how each of the chosen hymns reflected how the girls will go out into the community and live the Christian life. He also reflected on how the candidates were special as they have taken a mature and individual decision to follow God and say to people “this is my faith”.

It was not only a celebration of confirmation but also of baptism as Rebecca W was baptised into the Christian faith before her confirmation.

Following the service the girls and their family and friends enjoyed a celebration tea in the Landau Hall which included a special cake to mark the celebration baked by the school Catering staff School Chaplain, Rev Mary Gurr said, “The Confirmation service this year was, as always, a time of great celebration for girls and their families. The intimacy of the chapel added to the special feeling of the day and I was delighted for the girls and very proud of the decision that they have made to welcome God into their lives.”
