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.
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!
Nankin Federated Church in Nankin OH. 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.
