Sermon preached by John Bleazard on Vocations Sunday:
Loving God, be in my speaking, and in all our listening. Amen.
Well, they finally let me get up in the pulpit.
Can I just say what a joy it has been for Sara and me to be with you on placement this
year – its been a blessing to come here each Sunday – so thanks to you all for making us
feel so welcome among you.
As Linda said last week, I get to preach today because its Vocations Sunday – ordinands
around the country are asked to talk about their call to the priesthood. Now before you
think I’m going to give you some kind of party political broadcast – and you start reaching
instinctively for the TV remote control to change channels - let me say that’s not my
intention at all.
I want to talk about the vocation of every Christian, and also the vocation of every
congregation. I’ll then touch on our weekday vocation at work, and then finally say
something about my own personal call to ordination. Four topics, then – and I intend to
throw out a challenge to you with each one.
