The call committee has finished the second interviews with the (2)
potential candidates. We met on Monday February 19
th
to discuss and
review the two candidates. We compared the candidates’ strengths and
weaknesses to our ministry site profile and through thoughtful prayer,
and a committee consensus, we have a final recommendation for the
church council. We have notified the church council and will meet with
them to present our recommendation. At this meeting the call committee
will present the candidate to the church council and through ample
dialogue and discernment, the committee and council will be
empowered to move forward with our candidate. Once there is a
consensus on the candidate, numerous logistical items will have to be
completed before the candidate can be named and a special
congregation meeting can be scheduled. Again, with everything that has
to fall into place we anticipate having a pastor named by mid-March.
The committee communicators will continue to make announcements
before each service and updates will be posted in both the bulletins and
the monthly newsletters. Please keep us in your prayers.
