A helpful quote from @Pontifex - as Christians we must remember that we all share in the ministry of Christ, and we all have a role to play

A slower start on Monday mornings - we may be locked down but times of relaxation and recreation are just as important. Keeping a routine is also important, this is easier for some of us. Do you have a particular routine to the day?

[CofE B'ham Vocations @BhamVocations]

I realised soon after posting I had missed out our wonderful monks and nuns! I hope they will forgive me 😊 @monknunCofE

[Revd Dr Sally Nash @rdsallynash]

@BhamVocations @estate_ministry Absolutely! @CYMnews has great courses for chaplains, children's workers, youth workers https://t.co/sKhg3ugAbE check out some of these including @cheeky_ria testimony of her time with @mcymnews now youth worker in @cofebirmingham

[CofE B'ham Vocations @BhamVocations]

Remember, vocations does not just mean ordained ministry. God is calling readers, children's workers, worship leaders, youth pastors, mission apprentices - and yes, priests! Where is God calling you to serve?

[John Sentamu @JohnSentamu]

Today is #vocationssunday. What is the #vocation God may be calling you into? Ministry is not just for the ordained – we can all use our God-given gifts to build up Christ’s Church & bring his Kingdom into the world around us.

[CofE B'ham Vocations @BhamVocations]

On this #VocationsSunday we pray for everyone who is currently trying to work out where God is calling them to go. Do get in touch if you want to discuss this further with the Birmingham vocations team

[The Church of England @churchofengland]

Today we celebrate Vocations Sunday.
