Ventures in Vocation
"Lord, God, you have called your servants to ventures
of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden,
through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good
courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading
us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen."
LBW, p. 153, "Evening Vespers"
Oct. 12-13, 2008
Does the prospect of ordained or lay ministry sound exciting?
Daunting? Both? If you are considering a church vocation you
probably have a lot of questions.
Designed for post-college professionals and college-age students, during
this two-day conference you will:
- Talk with church leaders and other conference participants about
call and vocation;
- Explore your own sense of call, your gifts and the possibility
of ministry in the church;
- Immerse yourself in seminary life through:
- class visits
- campus tours
- morning chapel
- evening prayer
- discussions with faculty and current students
Questions about admissions, financial aid/housing, the ELCA candidacy
process and other denominational processes will also be addressed.
If these questions sound familiar, Ventures in Vocation is for
you!
- Am I called?
- What do clergy do?
- What are the joys and challenges of ordained and lay ministry?
- What are some lay vocational options?
- What do I have to do to prepare for ministry?
- How can I use my gifts to minister to others?
