Allyson George's Story...

This week on the First Thoughts Blog, we will be sharing some of the stories of FUMCR staff members and what led them to ministry.  For some it was a gentle nudging, for others it was one memorable moment, friend or colleague.  Join us as we explore a call to ministry!

This submission is by Allyson George, the Director of Children's Ministry at FUMCR.

Growing up I attended Bridgeport conference camp; elementary through highschool.  Each year I felt a 'nudge' to something bigger than me.  At about 16 years of age I recognized that nudge as a calling from God to work in the local church.  While my 'calling' story is not dramatic, it is mine and I understand that God calls us all ways, loud and obvious or quietly, gently, and overtime.
