This is a wonderful example of the variety in vocations. Parish priest and Assistant Director of Ordinands, Reader and workplace Chaplain, Licensed Lay Minister. If you are interested in any vocation there is an It’s Your calling Day on Saturday 18 May https://t.co/EgNswKYdF7

Sunday 21st April is Vocations Sunday and so if you are preaching or leading intercessions don't forget to encourage every Baptised member of the congregation to seek or affirm their calling @SeeOfRochester

For friends and colleagues leading churches this Easter weekend: wherever you are on a scale of smashing it, to faxing it in, to crying on the inside or outside - God will do his thing just by your turning up. As he always does. As you always do. @SeeOfRochester

"Having someone who encourages you and cheers you on, I think I found that really valuable."

Are you on the journey towards lay or ordained ministry? Finding a mentor through the Ministry Mentor Directory could be helpful.

A good article on calling:
“I think that discovering our calling — our vocation in life — goes hand in hand with a process of self-discovery, of uncovering the unique reflection of the image of God that he has placed in you.”

You may be considering Church Army Evangelist, Spiritual Director, the Religious life, Anna Chaplaincy, Children and Youth work or simply how you live out your calling in everyday life. All are welcome to come and explore.

[Rochester Vocations @rochestercall]

You may want to explore your vocation without knowing what God might be calling you to do and if that’s you It’s Your Calling is still a good event to come to as we explore how God has been working in your life, how God calls in the Bible and other possibilities for the future.

[Church Army UK & Ireland @ChurchArmy]

Want to explore your calling as an Evangelist?

We're running our Discovery Events - a great opportunity to find out more about our training as a CA Evangelist that's been established for over 140 years!

Members of the @SeeOfRochester DDO Team away for three days learning more about about how we can encourage and support those discerning a call to ordination. Great to be meeting with other Directors of Ordinands and the national Ministry team. @BishopTonbridge @JonathanRGibbs

[Rochester Vocations @rochestercall]

The discernment process uses image and metaphor as people explore calling. At the New Posts conference 3 priests built a Lego image of their vocation. Spot the Holy Spirit, a place where there is no limits for God, and a ministry which builds bridges and open doors.

[Rochester Vocations @rochestercall]

Yesterday I had the joy and the privilege of speaking to a class of 30 Year 6 pupils about the windows in our parish church. Many hadn’t been in a church before, so I was given the opportunity to tell them what happens in church and why. My vocation is a real joy @SeeOfRochester

[Rochester Vocations @rochestercall]
