Through this workshop we will explore the process of call, formation and service. We will discuss how we experience God s call for ourselves as well as mentor and affirm others in their journey to find and fulfill God s call on their life. There is a call of service to us to join with others to try to make things better in the world. The spirit of service in individuals is born early on. Infants have an innate response of crying when others around them are upset.
Toddlers often offer a toy or hug to another distressed toddler.
Preschool children enthusiastically volunteer to help. Elementary-age children often come up with ideas to make life better for people in hard times. As children grow, their spirit of service will grow as long as we nurture that spirit. Congregations are a critical place for children to learn about caring and sharing. Bring your ideas of way to nurture the spirit of caring to this workshop and learn new ideas, too.
