We are all called into a relationship with God and to be Lights in the World for Him. This Vocations Sunday we invite you to take the time to pray and listen to what God is saying to you where and to whom he is calling you to be a light.
In 2025 Vocations Sunday is marked on Sunday 11th May. This year we are reflecting on and celebrating the Ministry Experience Scheme (MES) for 18-30 year olds to explore their calling from God. Over the last year 6 young people have lived and worshipped together, serving different churches in the Diocese of Sheffield. This has given them an opportunity to explore where God is leading them.
Find out more about the Ministry Experience Scheme.
