Your Call . . . Your Journey . . . Your Education
Greetings Sisters and Brothers:

As the Church of the Brethren encourages ongoing calling to ministry, the Susquehanna Valley Ministry Center (SVMC) continues our Calling Essay series throughout 2021. Throughout this year, members of our Governing Board will share their call stories and unique perspective on our theme: Follow the Path of Your Calling.  May you be encouraged by the monthly reflections and share the reflections with others in your congregation.
 
Two Calling the Called events were hosted in 2021 by the five-district partnership of SVMC. Several persons discerning the call to ministry were reached during these events. We encourage you to think about 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. Additional Calling the Called events will be planned in the future, but your district office or 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.
