Kingdom Seeds in Local Soil

This month, we are invited to step into a nine‑day journey from  15 to 23 May that weaves across the whole Diocese of Bristol—an adventure of prayer, story, and hope. Join the Bristol Diocesan Pilgrimage 2026, in walking and praying together, sewing seeds of God’s kingdom in every corner of our diocese.

On Wednesday 20 May, the pilgrimage will be in our Deanery: Kingswood and South Glos. At around 1pm it will be stopping at St Michael’s!

A Journey rooted in Prayer

Each day will follow a gentle rhythm of prayer, reflection, and fellowship, pausing at local churches and schools to pray for God’s work in each community and deanery. Here is the special pilgrimage prayer.

Confirmation

Sunday 21 June 2026 – Christ the King Church, Bradley Stoke

Please respond by 20 May – apply here

Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptized. If you were baptized at a christening when you were a child, your parents and godparents made these promises on your behalf. As a young person or adult, you may be ready to affirm these promises for yourself and commit your life to following Jesus Christ. Or perhaps you were baptized as an adult and are now ready to confirm those promises.

At a confirmation service, you make these promises for yourself. Your friends and family will be there to promise to support and pray for you. 

This year, there is the opportunity to be confirmed at the Deanery Confirmation service at Christ the King, Bradley Stoke on Sunday 21 June at 4pm

If you would like to be confirmed, please complete the online form here by 20 May or get in touch if you would like more information.
