Ministry of Deaconess

Even so must their wives be grave,

not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things

I Timothy 3:11
 

“Deaconess” means “servant.” The deaconess ministry is one in which competent, dedicated women serve the Lord and His people through providing spiritual care, instruction in God’s Word, and acts of love.  Deaconesses are specialists in spiritual care.  They join with the pastor and deacons in visiting church members, assisting with the Baptismal ceremony and prepare communion for worship service.  Other activities of the deaconess include sending cards to our sick and shut-in members and acting as liaisons to single mothers in our community.

We are sadden, yet filled with joy with the home going of our sister and fellow Deaconess Sister Bernice Bass. We will alway cherish her in our memories as we reflect on the joy she brought to us.
