We deacons are in a leadership role and as such our job is to empower, prepare, nurture and disciple our congregation to go out into the world and do the real work of the church. How do we do this?
What connection exists between leadership and deacons? Deacons are called to lead as they represent Jesus in the church and in the community, so here are a few examples from His ministry to remind us how serving and leading go hand in hand.
I work with a Christian organization that works with the impoverished in our community. To support our program we invited everyone in our community to donate 25 cents at the till every time they shop at the grocery store.
