OFFER IN HAND

I have an offer from VC-S. The search committee from A-DL-P is meeting tomorrow night to make their decision, and then that will be taken to the three vestries on Friday night. Hopefully they will be able to agree and let me know one way or the other.

Dilemma: How do I politely say, "Thanks, let me think this over" without coming across like, "Thanks, but I'm waiting for a better offer"? Which I'm not, but I don't want to prematurely take a position while the other place is still discerning who they want to call.

Okay, now I'm stressed. Any suggestions would be helpful.
