“Reclaiming the ‘V’ Word: Renewing Life at Its Vocational Core” Book Study

Join us as we read chapter by chapter the first half of Dave Daubert and Tana Kjos’s Reclaiming the “V” Word: Renewing Life at Its Vocation Core. It’s from the Lutheran Voices series from Augsburg. For the involved but slightly lost church go-er, this book is short, accessible, theologically sound, and provides a compass that helps in times of purpose-seeking: for lay leaders, rostered ministers, or anyone in between. Listen and discuss in this supportive small group as we hear God’s promises (and dreams!) for us, and what comfort and challenge the Word is calling us to as we consider our vocations as Daubert and Kjos invite us through this book.

Participants are expected to have read the assigned chapters prior to the session to enable full participation in the discussion. Check with your church’s library or local bookstores. The book is also available on Amazon and ebook through Google Books. Participants are responsible for securing a copy of the book.
Reading assignments:

1. The “V’ [Vocation] Word Dilemma (10/4)
2. What is God Doing and How Can We Help? (10/11)
3. New Eyes for Old Stories (10/25)
