Pastoral Candidate Visit

Article from the Pastoral Search Team in the June 2012 Crossroads:

Sunday June 3 will be a special day at Calvary as we welcome the pastoral candidate your pastoral search team believes is the one we at Calvary have been asking the Holy Spirit to show us.

The candidate and his family will be worshiping with us, and the candidate will be leading worship and preaching the sermon. After worship, there will be a reception followed by a question and answer period with him in Fellowship Hall.

We praise God for bringing us to this point, but we are also aware that the most important step in this search process is yet to come. That step is the vote at a special congregational meeting to extend a letter of call to this candidate.

Trusting that the Holy Spirit is at work in us and in this candidate, we anticipate this special meeting will be held on Monday, June 18. All voting members of Calvary will receive a mailing early in June with details of the meeting. It will also be announced at worship services on June 10 and 17.

The search team is very excited about these final steps and very grateful for all the prayers the entire congregation has lifted up in the past year. Please continue to hold the process, the candidate and his family and congregation, the search team, and our entire family at Calvary in your prayers in the weeks to come.

Mark your calendar for June 3! Come, rejoice, welcome the candidate and his family, and praise God from whom all blessings surely flow!
