The elders have announced that they have opened up nominations for the offices of elder and deacon. The last day for nominations will be Sunday, August 22nd. Pastor Magee will continue teaching about the requirements and duties connected to these biblical offices this Sunday in Adult Sunday School. Nominations should be given in writing to one of the current officers of the church.
What are Elders and Deacons? Elders have the special role of spiritual oversight of the members of the congregation. Nominate those men you would seek out for spiritual advice who are able to teach, and who are recognized as good men both inside and outside the congregation. Deacons are to be men of trusted character who provide leadership in service. They free up the elders from any important ministry tasks that would distract the elders from the spiritual nurture of the church. We urge you to prayerfully consider Acts 6, 1 Timothy 3, and Titus 1 before making a nomination. If you need help in this process, please do not hesitate to contact one of the elders or deacons for assistance.
