“God’s Calling” was explored during Bluffton University’s spring 2022 Spiritual Life Week, held March 14-18, 2022. Students considered their vocations within a context of Christian vocation with Kathy Dickson ’03, Spiritual Life Week guest speaker and director of vocational discernment and community engagement at Methodist Theological School of Ohio. To guide them, students reflected on the scripture 1 Samuel 3:10b “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening,” which was chosen by a student planning committee.
