        Chapter 1 – Discerning present and future "calls" of service.

        Chapter 2 – Recognizing fears and the turning over of those fears to God.

2. Relate the chapters' themes to your life by reflecting on the following questions and journaling.

Chapter 1  - We learn new things when we move out of our comfort zone. Recall a time when you left a place where you were comfortable to go somewhere much different? What lesson(s) did you learn from the experience?

Chapter 2 - Recall times when you were afraid, and God provided you with assurance and peace. Consider the circumstances of one of those times that stand out for you—where and when.

3. Listen to guest speaker online - March 9  

The Rev. David Copley, Director of Global Partnerships and Mission Personnel, will speak about the themes of Chapters 1 and 2, discerning God’s call to serve others and overcoming our fears in doing so.
