God Calls Ordinary People
Greetings Sisters and Brothers:
 
The Susquehanna Valley Ministry Center (SVMC) continues our Calling Essay series throughout 2022.
 
Throughout this year, various persons will share their call stories and unique perspective on our theme God Calls Ordinary People. May you be encouraged by the monthly reflections and share the reflections with others in your congregation.
 
Our denomination needs people who are answering the call to ministry both as credentialed ministers and laity volunteers.
 
We encourage you to think of others in whom you see the gifts from ministry. Who can you encourage? Many ministers answered their call to ministry due to the encouragement of others naming gifts that were seen in them. 
 
Or are you feeling a calling to ministry or a change in your ministry? Your district office or the SVMC office are always sources of information on ministry credentialing or ministry education.

SVMC's mission is to equip leaders for ministry in a regionally based, Christ centered, culturally relevant context in ways that bear witness to the beliefs, heritages and practices of the Church of the Brethren.
