Invitation to Service

In early August, I had the privilege of being part of the Invitation to Service event at California Lutheran University. This powerful event has helped hundreds of peopleexplore and discern God's call for their life. Among other things, participants hear how others have heard God's call and been moved to use their gifts, talents and abilities in service to God's people. Through Bible study, worship, prayer, and small groups, people are invited and encouraged to be open to listening for God's calling. My role was a simple one: being part of the Have We Got A Job For You Faire. In addition, I was able to connect with some great people, play music with some friends, and spend time on a campus that I love. (I didn't go to CLU, but think of it as my alma matertera [alma mater means soul-mother . . . alma matertera means soul-aunt :) ]). Also, while at the ITS event, I was interviewed by a local paper.
