About the day:
• Is God calling me?
• How can I know what God is calling me to?
• What are the options - paid/voluntary, lay/ordained, inside the church /beyond the church?
• Who will help me explore further?
• How can I be trained and resourced?
• What’s the process for entering ordained ministry?
• Where can I meet people wrestling with similar issues?
• Where do I go from here?

During the day we will explore all these questions. Two morning sessions will look at what we understand by ‘calling’ or ‘vocation’, and practical ways in which we may discern God’s voice in the midst of life.

In the afternoon two sessions will run in parallel, one on the variety of lay roles within and beyond the Methodist Church and training opportunities, the other looking at ordained ministries and the candidating process.
