Search & Call Goes Road
Tripping
As we pointed out in the last Full Circle, the "house" Search and Call
is building is coming very close to occupancy. Our process continues;
details are added. And now we will be getting away, taking "road trips"
(as Rob O. says).
In the next month, we will be interviewing our
finalist candidates face-to-face and observing them preach at neutral
pulpits. It's an exciting time. One for which we have worked every
Tuesday night since October. (Has it really been that long?)
All of our discussions continue to ask: How well
will this pastor fit the needs of our congregation? Will she/he inspire
us to reach out and spread God's love through our actions? Will he/she
help ground us in our vision and provide the leadership to carry that
vision forward? Will she/he provide the Leadership we long for?
Now, more than ever, we ask for your prayers as we
listen for the still, small voice of the Still Speaking God. In many
ways the whole process feels like a road trip, and it's rewarding to
discern the final roadways.
