The Call to Ministry: Lay and Ordained

What gives you life in this season? What are your grateful moments? What is the next step on your Way to follow Jesus?

The first step in discernment is to renew your faith through formation and spiritual practices: For example, you can deepen your practice of prayer, practice theological reflection, increase your scripture reading, meet with a spiritual director, create a rule of life or assess your spiritual gifts.

The second step is to consult with your priest: Talk with your priest about what questions are emerging as you deepen your faith and seek the presence of God through spiritual practices, exploring your spiritual gifts, and digging deeper into scripture and theological reflection. With the recommendation of your priest, the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire can offer a “Clearness Committee” for helping you ask important questions of yourself and of God as you orient yourself towards a path down which God may be leading you.
