I feel called, now what?
Every year at Resurrection hundreds of people come forward as a response to feeling called to the ministry. This year, Justin did an awesome job of talking about various types of ministries and the joys and trials that accompany them.
If you ask people around Holston who are in the ministry where they felt or responded to the call to ministry, many of them will tell you it was at Resurrection. I am no different. When I was a junior in high school, I walked forward like so many before me to make a public response to what I felt God was calling me to do. I had a wonderful youth minister who encouraged me and gave me opportunities to work with the junior high youth at my church as a way to continue exploring my call. I had several mentors who were always happy to talk to me about my calling to youth ministry. I am so thankful for the people and opportunities that God placed in my life!
If you are feeling called into the ministry, there is a retreat designed just for you! Discovery takes place March 27-29 at Camp Wesley Woods. This weekend is an awesome way to explore your call and journey with others who are experiencing many of the same things you are. I hope you will join us!
Resurrection 2009 — A Huge Success!
Thanks to everyone who attended Resurrection 2009 – it was a blast! We enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces and new ones too.
Starfield, as to be expected, rocked it. And what a gifted speaker Justin Lookadoo is!?! I’ve talked to several youth group leaders and his messages really seemed to hit home for alot of their members.
Here’s one of my favorite pictures from the weekend:
This was taken during the first session. It sure was cold out there, but you sure could feel the excitement!
