Committee Update #6

August 25, 2010



The committee met on Monday night August 23rd. We would like to update the congregation on the following items:



1) We have completed our "Senior Minister Profile" and our Application. We are nearly complete with our Church Profile.



2) We have begun to contact our "friends of HPC" list and have started receiving names of potential candidates from them.



3) We have officially started taking applications of interested candidates! This is our first step for a candidate in the HPC Pastor search process. This begins a shift in our committee's focus from the foundational work of organizing and preparing, into the actual process of engaging candidates. We have already taken a few applications and are preparing for discussions with some of the men. Praise God!

Our next meeting is Thursday September 2.

Committee Update #5

The committee met on Saturday August 7th. The committee is continuing to work on our church information packet and this is currently the main item we are working on. We would mainly like to update our prayer requests:

1) Please pray for our upcoming meeting on Saturday August 14th. We hope to have most of the content for the packet complete by this day and then begin the process of compiling the information together in a nice package.

2) Please pray as we begin to "formalize" the process in which we will handle each pastoral candidate.

3) Please pray for the "Friends of HPC" list. Pray that God would lead us to godly men who will assist us in identifying candidates for our pulpit.

Thank you for your prayers!

Our upcoming meetings our scheduled for Saturday August 14, Monday August 23, and Friday September 3rd.
