One Night Event Presented by Seminarian Alex Trujillo June 19, 2024 (English) | 7pm June 21, 2024 (Spanish) | 7pm He asked them ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ “Because no one has hired us, they answered.” “He said to them, " You also go and work in my vineyard.’ - Matthew 20:6-7 I can say that my call to the seminary was a simple and direct invitation. In the same manner that Jesus called Matthew, Peter, and Andrew, I think about how Jesus calls people still today. Just like the workers in the vineyard, I was “idle,” unsaved, in need of purpose, and above all, desired to be wanted by a generous, loving God. And so God calls all of us to produce good fruit regardless of our chosen vocation.

One Night Event Presented by Seminarian Jonathan Webster July 1, 2024 (English) | 7pm Divine providence, or simply the word providence, is something that is thrown around a lot and sometimes used as a Christian replacement for luck. For example, we often say something is providential when something good happens. Is that all providence is though? What is providence? What about when bad things happen, is that part of providence? Does providence require something of us? Join us as we explore these questions, discover the journey of creation, and the necessity of our own individual surrender to hope. All are invited!
