Did Someone Say Free Calling-Focused Retreat in a Box?

By Jeremy Steele

You know that your students need help in discerning their vocation. And, you want them to see that vocation as part of God’s movement in their life and in the world, but it’s hard to find something that is solidly UMC and also written with everything you need to use it with your teens.

Explore Calling has all you need to host a calling-focused retreat for your youth or do a multi-week series on the same topic. It even has a retreat schedule, up-front games, and suggested worship songs that go along with the lesson. And, since each United Methodist Church pays apportionments, it is completely free to use. Your offering dollars has already paid for the production!

Simply head over to the curriculum section of the Explore Calling site and scroll down to download the package for 6th through 12th grade! You’re welcome.

If you’d like some help thinking through the idea of calling in general, check out our great podcast on the subject with Wendy Mohler Seib.
