What are the private thoughts of Deacons as they quietly go about their Mission? Several have shared their thoughts with us, and we present them here so that the rest of us can glimpse the depth of love they give - as they honor Our Lord in service. We thank them for these beautiful insights.

“If my God-given talents can be a service to others, I am so happy to share them.”

“I enjoy working with the youth group of our church and encourage not only the youth but the parents as well to be involved with church functions.”

“From Hospice to Family Vigil Bereavement, witnessing my faith and helping others in any way I’m needed — God put me here on earth [for this purpose].”

“My heart is truly warmed when I can promote fellowship within the church, and give of myself to help people deal with the grief from the loss of loved one.”

“I enjoy preaching God’s Word to the people, in a clear and understandable way, so that most could be connected to Jesus Christ.”

“The most wonderful moment was when my Pastor placed the diaconal stole given me by my own congregation.”

	“I want to thank my husband and my son for their continuing encouragement and support, and giving up some of the time I could have spent with them in order that I may serve the Lord.”
