Is the Lord calling you to serve as a pastor in the Methodist Church? If He is, or if you think He may be, the TRAC Board of Ministry invites you to join us for a day of discernment, to clarify if this is the path of discipleship He summons you to. Come and hear about life in ministry from Methodist pastors, and let us guide you in a time of solitude and stillness as you listen to what God is saying to you about pastoral ministry.
This retreat is open to Methodists between 18-50 years of age. We welcome all interested registrants, including those who have attended previous retreats, or are about to apply to be a pastor.
Interested participants can register at tiny.cc/TRAC_discern, and the deadline is 10 Sep.
