This could get exciting

I'm serving on an Associate Pastor search committee at our church. We've been meeting regularly on Wednesday evenings, and, after following all the guidelines from our presbytery, I was happy to be able to announce to the other committee members this evening that all the hoops had been jumped through, our information form is approved and our search criteria is now on line through the Presbyterian site that matches churches to applicants. After I got home this evening I discovered, when I checked my email, that we have our first application. That didn't take long.  He actually sounds pretty good. I think our hard work is just beginning.
