Jebel Ali: celebrating 18 confirmands

A joyful celebration of the Confirmation of 18 candidates prepared by parish priest the Reverend Jim Young and the newly ordained Reverend Innocent Ekpeluchi was held at Christ Church Jebel Ali on Sunday (27 October).

Bishop Sean’s sermon—based on John 3.1-17—challenged the confirmands and congregation to allow the wind of the Holy Spirit to shape their lives in imitation of Christ, for the important ministry of presence that the Anglican church has in the Middle East.

But first, he gave a children’s sermon—a lively presentation to the youngest members of the congregation about what it means to be a spiritual shepherd.
