Minute Activity

Thankful for Deacons

Deacons hold a special place in the work of thechurch, as they are special servants who helpkeep various ministries going strong.

Take the time to teach your children what dea-cons actually do (the word translated deaconmeans servant), then have them write a thankyou card to one (or more) of our 21 deacons.

It will probably mean more to a younger child ifhe or she hand-delivers the card or note.
