There’s a Call for You
May 10-31, 2020

The Bible is full of stories where God calls individuals, and sometimes groups, to live in a certain way or perform certain tasks. God calls Abraham to a journey. Jesus calls fishermen to come and follow. Christ calls Saul to become the Apostle Paul. Does God still call people? More to the point, do you have a call — or maybe a collection of calls from God? This series will explore this question. We will ask, how does faith in the risen Christ influence every aspect of our lives? To what is God calling you? Rev. Tom Are preaches this series.

God said, “I will be with you and that will be enough.” When God calls us, God also promises to journey along with a calling. Our scripture reading is Exodus 3:1-6, 9-12.
