Are you feeling a sense of calling to ordained ministry? Do you recognise the call in someone else?
Right now, Bishop Saju is preparing a retreat for our new ordinands who will be ordained into the church this summer, and he wondered, who else might God be calling to diaconate and priesthood, to serve and lead in His church in the future?
It might be you. It might not be for you. But do you recognise others in your church, school or worshipping community for whom this might be a calling?
“If you feel this calling, this gladness, even if it is in the form of the faintest of whispers, I invite you to join us, to explore your calling,” says Bishop Saju.
God calls us at different ages and in all seasons and stages of our lives, so come as you are – there are no preconceived ideas.
The session will include a chat with a few people who are already on the ordination journey, who will share their stories, struggles, and the joy of ‘homecoming’.
Join Bishop Saju and Sue Willetts, our Diocesan Director of Ordinands, for an informal vocations conversation on Saturday 17 May, 4pm at Bishops Lodge, 12 Springfield Road, Leicester, LE2 3BD.
