The Journey
You want to say yes to God, but how? And to what will you say yes? Council with the Discernment Ministry team invite you on The Journey with Anita Howard as our guide. This is a journey in which we are invited to become like Jesus as we become to people of God we were shaped to be. It is a journey in which together we will claim our mission as we realize our call.
Our formation in Christ involves five discoveries:
- Discovery 1: What is my call? (Saturday, October 19th from 8:30am-4:30pm at Christ Presbyterian Church, Canton; cost: $10)
- Discovery 2: Where am I now? (Saturday, January 11th from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm at Faith Christian Church, New Philadelphia, Ohio; cost: $10)
- Discovery 3: What is the plan? How do I get there? (Saturday, March 22nd; from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm at Faith Christian Church, New Philadelphia, Ohio; cost: $10)
- Discovery 4: How will I start? (May 19-21 on retreat; cost includes two overnight stay and all meals, $100 for dorm room, $150 for shared room )
- Discovery 5: Who will help? (Monthly, by Parish; The gift of community throughout the journey).
As you say "yes!" to God, may you experience God's blessing:
May the Son of God who is already formed in you grow in you:
so that for you he will become immeasurable
and that in you he will become laughter, exultation,
and the fullness of joy which no one can take from you.
