Archbishop Thabo Makgoba - Confirmations at St George’s Silvertown
25 October 2009
Jer 31:7-9
Psalm 126
Heb 5:1-6
Mark 10:46-52 – NRSV
May I speak in the name of God, who calls us to himself with gentleness and love.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, dear people of God of St George’s Silvertown, dear confirmands – let me say again what a pleasure it is to be with you this morning.
Thank you, Father Joshua, thank you wardens, for inviting me to be here. Thank you everyone, for your warm welcome.
Presiding at Confirmations is one of the great privileges of being a bishop – and since I became a parent, I have felt it even more keenly.
