In Brief

All went well.

The congregation voted "yes" and I accepted.

Presbytery meeting and vote on Saturday.

I haven't absorbed it at all.

  1. I checked in here several times yesterday waiting to hear.

    Congratulations, and yes, it does take awhile to sink in. I candidated first and went before presbytery 10 days later. You are articulate. You will do well on the floor of presbytery. I was challenged on a couple of my sentences in my faith statement. I gently held my perspective and I was received.

    The congregation and presbytery will be blessed by your wisdom and presence.

  3. Can you tell us the name of the church and its location?

    I don't know how your presbytery handles examinations. In Presbytery of New Covenant the exam is really done by COM and there are seldom any questions from the floor. Prayers for a smooth process on Saturday!

    I think that Saturday will be similar to what you describe, but I have been asked to attend the entire meeting so it will be a very long day.

  10. Dear Robin - how wonderful!! I'm so far behind in my blog-reading, I'm sorry I wasn't there to say YAY on Saturday!

    Such a beautiful, tender answer to prayer.... how grateful I am to be able to watch and read from the blogosphere!

    Hugs and love to you!
