A Discernment Retreat for Women and Men
Have you wondered about or been encouraged to consider a call to vocational ministry or greater servant leadership in your church? Do you want to learn more about what it means to be called, or spend dedicated time to processing the particular way God has gifted you for serving in God’s kingdom work? This weekend retreat offers a set-aside space to listen and discern within the community. There will be teaching sessions related to call, time for solitude and silence, as well as sharing and listening prayer in small groups. Consider this retreat an opportunity to listen for the next step on your ministry discernment journey.
The Exploring Call for All Retreat is an opportunity for women and men to spend dedicated time listening to God, their lives and the stories of others as they discern a call to vocational ministry.
