Once again it was a moment for reliving one's own confirmation service all those years back. They were all a bit nervous, anxious and, well, following a dress-code. As always, I sensed it would be a good idea to capture a slice of the moment for all of them to see.
The confirmation service was led by the Bishop of the Church of North India, Diocese of Delhi, Rt. Revd. Dr. Warris K. Masih and assisted by Revd.Daman Derrick Rodgers, Presbyter in charge of the Church of the Epiphany Gurgaon and Evangelist Christ Anand Beck, Evangelist from the Sadhu Sunder Singh Church at Sohna.
It was a cold Sunday morning and the Church filled in gradually, a task no doubt for quite a few of us to drag ourselves out of bed. The 12th of January, 2020 would have been a day most awaited by those who would have been preparing themselves for this important day. They would have learnt different prayers and responses by heart and perhaps even prepared themselves to serve at the altar. But then, there was also a bit of a festive atmosphere in the air as all of us gathered after the service to share greetings and to partake in a fellowship meal. I have pasted a few of the snaps in this post hoping that they will rekindle similar memories in all those who have been confirmed!
On a lighter note, I would like to add that sitting in the warm sun (that finally peeped out of the overcast) finally showed its bright side, we all gathered in the lawn to share bits of homilies and good cheer.
And where was I? Well, look carefully into his sunglasses, if you zoom in you will see not just one of me, but two of me! Don't blame me for the exaggerated and rather contorted stance, but then I had to make an impact.
