Oh, boy – part 2

I have agreed to stand for election to the Board of Deacons, Class of 2011, at the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville.  The election will be held June 15.

The decision involved a short but intense process of discernment (I was only asked last Saturday) with several phone calls to the pastor and a member of the Nominating Committee.

I would like to thank everybody here who has commented on this question, where I might be called, and me personally over the past few months.  Part of the discernment process involved reading the comments here.  There were two common threads among the responses (some non-public conversations, too) from folks whose opinion I value highly that ended up being the deciding factor.

I have received a note from the Central Jersey Deacon Candidate Host Committee about an event …. just kidding!  (If you don’t get the joke, click here.)

Thanks.  I know a ton of you were praying for me.
