Dear Friends, Being new to ordained ministry, people are often interested to hear how I came to be in the role. Calling and vocation are funny things. I regularly meet people like myself who find themselves exactly where they NEVER thought they’d be. And yet it has been the best thing they could have done. It is surprising how

God equips us so that, when we are ready, we can step out and become our very best selves. That is key… that the calling we each have is unique. It is as unique as we are. We each have our part to play. But all Christians do have a single focus, and Chapter House at St Robert’s, Pannal that is to follow Christ. We are all called to dedicate ourselves to loving God, ourselves and our neighbours above all other things. How we do that is unique. The Chapter House is available for hire at the following rates: And at different times in our lives this calling will be different. For example, Half Day/Evening £40 some of us will be called to care for elderly relatives for a time. Others may be called by God to set aside a particular job or working environment. Some may All Day £75 feel called to some voluntary work briefly or for a longer period. This includes full use of the car park/kitchen /toilets etc. The How do we know when we are called to something? This is one of the hardest kitchen is very well equipped with a dishwasher, coffee machine, areas for anyone to give an answer. My own experience tells me that when you are called to something you will be nudged in that direction by lots of different water boiler. The Chapter House has a projector screen, tables, means, and that when you explore that path you will feel a deep sense of peace comfortable chairs and can be set out to suit a huge variety of about it, even though it may not be an easy choice. events. It also really helps to talk to someone if you are unsure. Talk to friends and family, even if it feels a little strange. Or talk to another member of the church Caterers can be arranged. family who you trust. John or I are always available to talk as well, whether the It is also only a five minute walk from Pannal Railway Station question is big or small. and a short walk from the No. 36 bus route. At present, there are two big questions of calling in our churches. St Michael’s PCC is asking where we are being called as regards our planned building For further details, please contact the church office: telephone works, and who will play a part in fulfilling our missional expansion. At St (01423) 873577 or e-mail [email protected] Robert’s we are wondering who will be called in this year to the voluntary role of churchwarden; a big responsibility but also a hugely privileged role. I hope we all feel called to pray and deeply consider if we are called to play a larger part in encouragement or involvement in these ways. I know from experience what an incredible feeling comes from being where God calls us to be. Blessings Abbie
