Step Forward Programme 2020

During the day we will explore what it means to be called by God, what it means to be called to serve in the Church of England today and in the future, and the range of different callings and ministries within God’s Church.

We will also spend time looking at how to discern and who can help in the discernment process, and of course, there will be time to be silent, time to talk, and time to pray and worship!
