On the blessed feast of Pentecost, the participants began their journey with Orthros and the Divine Liturgy. Then, they departed for the ropes course to engage in collaborative team-building exercises.

After a long day of community building, they returned to HCHC for their first session: Introduction to Vocation. The participants were invited to understand vocation, through the lens of Orthodoxy, as “your unique and ongoing response to Christ’s call to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself.”
