Details: Category: Going Deeper; Written by James Henry; Hits: 39

Starting in January of 2012, Saint James will be offering a yearlong workshop series called “Claiming your Personal Ministry.” All Christians are called to ministry: to share the Good News of God’s love and redemption in their words and deeds. The workshops in this series will help you to do just that. If you are looking for a way to more fully live out your Christian faith, this series is for you! See below for the description of each workshop and for the schedule.

Each of us brings different gifts to God's table. Everyone has something to offer. This survey is intended as a starting place for discerning what your spiritual gifts might be. This survey is not meant to exist in a vacuum; our Spiritual Gifts Team should work with you in this process. After this, there is a longer version that goes into greater detail about your possible spiritual gifts.
