Every baptized person is called to ministry. The Education for Ministry (EfM) program provides people with the education to carry out that ministry. During the Service of Confirmation we ask God to "Renew in these your servants the covenant you made with them at Baptism. Send them forth in the power of the Spirit to perform the service you set before them." EfM offers an opportunity to discover how to respond to the call to Christian service. Education for Ministry (EfM) invites participants into small, mentored groups that provide the framework for understanding life and shaping actions as Christian faith is deepened. EfM seminar groups meet in local settings and online, and provide a four-year curriculum that develops a theologically informed, reflective, and articulate laity I would love to be able to start an EfM group here at Grace Episcopal Church. While it is meant to be done in person, it is also possible to meet via zoom until we are able to gather together each week. Please let me know if you are interested in this amazing theological program. I am including a link below to their website so that you can see a little bit more about the program and what is involved. I would also be very glad to talk to you about how it has informed and added to my spiritual life and direction. -Suzanne
