Young adults of color are invited to examine their gifts and explore opportunities at a June Episcopal Church retreat, Why Serve 2014: We are all called by God, but what does that mean for you?
Sponsored by Diversity and Ethnic Ministries of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society (DFMS), Why Serve 2014 will be held Thursday, June 5 to Sunday, June 8, hosted by Church Divinity School of the Pacific (CDSP) in Berkeley, CA.
Invited to attend
this conference of fellowship, training, discernment, and self-care are
young adults (age 18-30) from the Asian, Black, Indigenous and Latino
communities of the Episcopal Church, Lutheran Church (ELCA), and other
churches in communion with the Episcopal Church, including the Moravian
Church, the Old Catholic Churches, the Iglesia Filipina Independiente,
the Mar Thoma Church and the Churches of South India (CSI) and North
India (CNI).
"Wherever you are
on your journey, young adulthood is a time of transition and choices,
but you don't have to do it alone," commented the Rev. Winfred Vergara,
Asiamerica Minister. "Join us on the campus of CDSP and continue
discovering the possibilities, whether you are feeling called to be a
clergy person, a vestry member, a nurse, a father, or a cook; whether
you're in school, working, or just in-between; whether you're a regular
church-goer, a used-to goer, or a seeker, we hope you'll join us for
this transformative experience."
The conference is
sponsored by Church Divinity School of the Pacific; the DFMS Asiamerica
Ministries, Black Ministries, Indigenous ministries, Latino/Hispanic
Ministries, and Young Adult Ministries; and the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America. Cost is $70 which includes meals, lodging, conference fees; fee does not include travel. Registration deadline is May 5. Click here for information and registration.
