DRG Vocations Course:   God IS calling you!

registration for 2022 DRG Vocations Course
Vocations 101 Course/Online Retreat (Weekly in Lent, online)

​God IS calling you! 

Our annual Diocesan Discernment Cycle begins each Lent with an Introductory "Vocations 101" course.  This course/online retreat  is open to any and all lay people, deacons, and priests in the DRG and beyond.  Each session includes time for prayer, a brief topical presentation, and small group sharing.  In this introductory course/online retreat we explore our basic understanding of Christian Vocation in the Episcopal Church.  Over the course of five 90 minute sessions, we explore how the particular vows made in three different  services from our Book of Common Prayer: the services of Holy Baptism, the Ordination of a Deacon, and the Ordination of a Priest, can shed light on particular aspects of the shared vocation of all Christians, and help us begin to see our own unique vocations, as individual members of Christ’s Body, more clearly.  

Notes: 

 *This course is for ALL people (at every stage of life and in every order of ministry) who feel called to deepen their relationship with God and their vocation in the church and in the world. It is also the "starting place" for individuals who may be sensing a call towards ordained ministry in the Diocese of the Rio Grande and wish to enter into a formal process of discernment. 

*If you are unable to participate in the Vocations 101 Course/Online Retreat "live" during Lent, you may access session recordings and other materials online to complete the course independently or with a small group at any time.
