Spiritual Growth Seminar: Callings for Life

  • Messiah Lutheran Church 2727 Five Mile Rd. NE Grand Rapids, MI 49525 (map)

“What is God calling me to do? What is the one thing I was born to do? Am I truly doing what I am called to do?”  The world wants us to think that unless you achieve one great thing – the perfect job, a soul mate, a completed bucket list, your capital-C calling -- you have failed.  But that is a myth.

The truth is that God fills your life with various, multiple callings – whether you’re a student, a recent graduate, an adult with an established career or a retiree.  These callings are found in

  • the faces of people God puts in your life,

  • the places He’s gifted to you, and

  • the spaces where you fulfill the roles and responsibilities He gives. 

In all of these, God is at work in you and through you, His beloved, redeemed, precious child – not because of who you are, but because of who you are in Him!

 Make plans now to join us as we welcome Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Leininger and explore Callings for Life: God’s Plan, Your Purpose.  Pastor Leininger will share insights from Scripture and the Church’s history & heritage of prayer and song plus decades of experience in congregational life and campus ministry to explore this deeply personal topic.  You’ll leave this seminar more fully grounded in Jesus’ teachings and better equipped to live out your callings every day!   

There will be no charge for our Spiritual Growth Seminar, and continental breakfast and lunch will be provided.  In addition, Pastor Leininger will have copies of his Concordia Publishing House book Callings for Life available for purchase. RSVP below or by calling 616-363-2553 by Monday, February 3rd.
