I'm a member of the team planning the annual Vocations Day, which this year is being held at St Philip's Church in Evington, on Saturday 3 February.Last year we had an amazing turnout. Over sixty people came from around Leicester Diocese to explore God's calling. Some were pretty sure about the shape of that call, and were looking for more information and help. Some were nearer the beginning of the process of discernment, exploring the nature of the ministry that they sensed God was suggesting to them. Others were just looking and wondering - aware that we are all called to ministry, but that for some that call is focussed in a particular authorised role. Everyone found it a helpful day and, as a result vocations to lay and ordained ministries have been pursued.
Revd Simon Heathfield, Team Rector of Walthamstow and former CPAS Vocations Adviser will join Bishop Tim as the key speakers. But one of the most important aspects is to hear about the experience of Readers, Pastoral Assistants, Evangelists, Under 25's Advisers and ordinands.
There's still time to register for this year's event. A leaflet is available for download from the Diocesan website.
