How do you recognise God’s voice?
What might God need you to be in the world?
Might God be calling you to some new adventure?
This weekend conference is open to anyone who wants to:
- deepen their discerning prayer life
- reflect on how God might be calling them to service with their particular gifts and passions
- share their vocational journey and experience, and listen to others to help them explore vocation
- explore ways of developing a positive vocation exploration culture and leading intentionally to enable this
So whether you are wondering where next, considering a new role, entering retirement, or discerning a call to lead worship, preach or enter ordained ministry, join us to share in this time with our Connexional Vocations Adviser, Alison Ransome.
