Answer the Call | May 9-June 6
In our Ascend prayer, we pray:
- I hold my hands forward as a symbol of calling.
- I want to live for something greater than myself.
- I want to embrace your kingdom mission for my life.
- I seek the lost, last, least and lonely to be restored in the kingdom of God.
Calling is our response to God’s love.
We speak of calling in a number of ways. In popular culture, it can refer to one’s vocational calling, or one’s life work. In the Church, it can refer to a call to serve God in some form of ministry, as a pastor, evangelist, missionary, etc., God’s specific callings will be different for each person. This class will be about the ways that Jesus’ followers can experience God’s calling.
In this class we will learn about the two ways that every Christian is called and four lessons on calling from the Bible:
- God’s call to the weak, and his how he supplies their needs.
- God’s call to all for faithful obedience.
- God’s call to his people to shine the light of truth in dark days.
- God calls his enemies to be reconciled to Him.

Meditation Group
TUESDAY | 8:30 am OR 4:30 pm
Open to: All
Meditation is an ancient Christian discipline. It offers all of the benefits that health professionals attribute to other forms of meditation, such as reducing anxiety, managing stress and improving sleep, but it has the added benefit of opening pathways for us to experience the peace of our Lord and Savior, to enter into the presence of the Almighty and to seek and receive guidance from the Holy Spirit.
In the meetings, we will explore techniques that anyone can learn and can use on their own and we will experience guided meditations that are focused on opening our hearts and minds to God.
There is no obligation to attend every week because the sessions are designed to be equally beneficial for the occasional participant. The group is offered twice a week to accommodate schedules. You can choose Tuesday, 8:30-9:15 am or Tuesday 4:30-5:15 pm. For more information or to register, please contact Anne Havrilla.
