For six weeks from October 1 through November 5, 2009 members and friends had the opportunity to participate in a growth and study group, "Discovering Your Gifts, Vision, and Call," at 6:30 p.m. each Thursday evening. The series was led by a lay-clergy team including Betty Opelt, Jenny Romens Erickson, and Pastor Jim Mohr.
The sessions were especially designed for those who are concerned abou the pain and despair in the world and who yearn to help implement God's vision for creation. It offers a process for discerning your vocation and a model for working with others who share your calling.
Here is a list of the sessions:
- What Are My Unique Gifts?
- How Can I Call Forth Another's Gifts?
- Which Vision is Mine to Carry?
- What is God calling Me to Do?
- How Can I Work Together with Those Who Share My Call?
- How Can the Larger Community Support the Callings of Its Members?
In the fall of 2010 we plan to offer a similar group. Details will be available in the summer.
