Call Committee Update (Feb 25)

In the coming week we will set about hearing the first of our final candidates preach and then sit down together for a more in-depth conversation. It is certain that very intentional questions and specific concerns from every perspective will be at the heart of this discussion.

There is no doubt that this stage of the call process brings a sense of trepidation – as there is much at stake as we narrow our search. Yet as the process advances, we realize more clearly and rely more heavily on the fact that it is not of our own accord – but that it is undeniably being driven by God’s Spirit. It is mutually daunting responsibility and awesome pleasure.

Your words of support and encouragement – and your continued prayers --sustain us all.

Call Committee Update (Feb 18)

This chapter in the call process of moving beyond the initial stage of interviews carries with it a real sense of excitement, while also bittersweet. We have been enriched by meeting candidates with considerable talents that dovetail with the ministry of Holy Trinity, yet in the course of narrowing the field of candidates for further consideration, are obliged to release from the process pastors with great depth and passion for ministry.

With the assurance that each pastor chosen for final interviews is formidably matched with Holy Trinity’s ministry, we set about the task of discerning which is best suited. In this time before hearing candidates preach at the end of February and early March, we continue to fine-tune questions for our second conversations to follow.
