What is God calling you to do?
Explore a range of different ministries and vocations with the support of fellow Christians and Area Vocations Teams.
There are three annual events, one in each episcopal area, and all cover both Lay and Ordained roles. Two are in March and one in May this year.
To find out details and book a place please select the area you are from. However you are welcome to go to any of the events, regardless of where your church is, especially if you have missed a date.

Colchester Area Vocations Morning
When:
Saturday 8th November 2025, 9.30am - 12.30pm
Where:
Marks Tey Church Hall, Church Lane, Marks Tey, Colchester CO6 1LW
What:
Have you ever wondered if God is calling you into something new? Or felt a nudge that ‘maybe I could do that’? Or dreamed that you could learn and develop skills in the service of Christ? If so, this morning is for you! Anyone and everyone who is thinking about a vocation in the church is welcome to a morning to explore what God might be saying and how the various pathways into ministry work. We will hear from Bishop Roger, Archdeacons Kate and Ruth, and people on a vocational track to licensed lay ministry, ordained ministry and many other lay roles. There is no pressure – just an opportunity to hear from others and find out more.
