Deacon Ordination
Service
October 2, 2005 saw the congregation of
UFFCOG unite to celebrate and honor three men after God's heart in their
ordination of deaconship. Deacons Terry Vactor, Nathaniel W. Carpenter
and Duane L. Banks began their office by being accepted and welcomed by
the church.
New Testament Deacons serve the Lord by
conducting the caring ministry of the church - doing the benevolence
work, visiting the sick, being alert to the spiritual needs of the
congregation - for the purpose of freeing the pastoral staff to focus on
prayer and the ministry of the Word, promoting unity within the church,
and facilitating the spread of the gospel.
