Ministry Formation Days St. Luke’s is entering an exciting time of transition—from an acting priest-in-charge to a full time interim-dean to eventually, by God’s grace, a new dean. As in any transition, there are areas where special attention and support for its members is helpful. This encourages a smoother “ministry in transition”. This is also a time to invite increased participation, and offer the congregation fresh ways to engage, and perhaps explore joining a group “short-term”—as part of ALL of our “ministries” —“in transition”. Every member of the congregation is invited to come together—and explore more about a ministry which may be calling you. The best definition of a “call” I have heard is: “something when doing brings us closer to God”. This is an excellent Lenten or Easter exploration—perhaps taking even a “resurrection” look at where we are and what God is calling us to do!
We are offering four separate Saturdays in April to uplift four areas of Cathedral ministry and engage the following:
- Challenges and expectations of ministry during change and how to meet them
- “What you always wanted to know about this ministry but were afraid to ask…”
- Review of existing methods and procedures
- How to support the St. Luke’s Community through YOUR ministry and service.
