Exploration Event

November 13-15, 2009

EXPLORATION 2009 will be held in Dallas, Tex., Nov. 13-15, 2009. Exploration is a gathering for young people (high-school seniors through age 24) considering ordained ministry in The United Methodist Church. You will learn that all baptized Christians are called to ministry, and that some people are called to ordained ministries of Word, Sacrament, Order and Service through the church.

The ordained ministry of deacons and elders offers incredible opportunities for service in a variety of settings. Ministry settings might include the local church, campus ministry, hospital or military chaplaincy, mission at home and abroad, teaching in college or seminary, social work, counseling, music or youth ministries and many others.

At Exploration you will learn:

· how you can discern God’s call in your life

· the nature of ordained ministry in The United Methodist Church

· steps into ordained ministry

You will also:

· participate in workshops on topics that speak to your own questions and interests

· meet others from across the country who are considering their call to ministry

· have an opportunity to talk with people engaged in a variety of ministries

Adrian College Chaplain Dr. Chris Momany is the West Michigan Conference contact person for Exploration 2009 and a member of the West Michigan Conference Board of Ordained Ministry.

Chris can be reached at (517) 265-5161, X4211, cmomany@adrian.edu. More information to come.
