17 April is the next Vocations Sunday. People often struggle to find the words to describe their calling. It can be a feeling, a physical sensation, a voice in a corner of their mind telling them where they should go. It can change as you explore it, changing as God calls you down new and different paths. Vocations Sunday is the day for churches to encourage everyone to reflect, discover and recognise God's call to them.
The Church of England have shared a selection of resources for both worship and study, for congregations or small groups around Vocations Sunday. You can access these resources by clicking here.
If you want to explore how you could serve God in the Diocese of York, you can find out information from our Vocations Team by visiting the website here.
