If you are feeling called to ministry, ordained or lay, mark your calendar for Saturday, October 7, 8:30 am to 4 pm at St. Luke’s in the Meadow, Fort Worth.
That’s the date of Discernment Day, an important first step in the understanding and exploration of the various areas and aspects in the process of discernment for both ordained and lay ministries. A fee of $10 will cover all costs including lunch on site.
Anyone who may be considering a role of church leadership, a call to the diaconate or priesthood, and/or music education or general education leadership is urged to attend.
Detailed plans for the day are being finalized, and more information will be published closer to the date. But here is the basic outline of the day: It will begin with Morning Prayer followed by an open panel discussion with lay leadership, deacons, clergy, and music/education elements for questions and reflection. The gathering will then have a look at covenant considerations. Lunch will be on site. The afternoon will include breakout sessions of interest from the morning topics and a final follow-up with a question-and-answer session by Bishop J. Scott Mayer.
