Its your call weekend
CPAS write: It’s Your Call Weekend
We’re thrilled to be launching a new vocations weekend specifically for 18-30 year olds who are discerning a call from God. This could be a call to church leadership, a sense of pioneering something new, a call to transform their community or even something else.
This is an interactive weekend that gives young adults a chance to connect with God, connect with others and connect with God’s call on their life. It will be a weekend of prayer, worship, workshops, stories and an opportunity to ask loads of questions.
We would appreciate your prayers for this weekend and if you know anyone who may be interested, please direct them to www.cpas.org.uk/itsyourcall.
