The head of the call committee of the church in Alberta called to say that Jon wasn’t a match. He did say he’d recommend Jon highly to the assistant to the bishop there for the other churches in the area who are looking for pastors but it’s still a blow to Jon. I’m sad because they were good people and an amazing church. They took their time deliberating which makes me think that this wasn’t a decision made lightly. In the end, it’s still the second time Jon has made it to an in-person interview this year only to be shot down. Pray for him.

There is a church in California which is looking at Jon. It would mean being closer to family and friends and if nothing else, it’s an option. Pray that things go well when we fly out there next month.
