Junior Deacons are Important!

May 19, 2022

First Christian Church offers several opportunities for the youth of our church to be involved in our worship service; one of those is serving as a Junior Deacon. Being a Junior Deacon gives our young people a vital role in the worship service. They assist in serving Communion to the congregation, as this picture of Junior Deacon Nathan Langley illustrates. They can also lead in the Call to Worship and can assist in greeting and ushering.  The Minister can designate other tasks as appropriate. Youth leaders, the Chairperson of the Deacons, and the pastor work together to make appointments and to train the Junior Deacons. If you are interested in serving our church community in this role, contact Deborah McClure, Dickie Knott, or Reverend Byrd.

Attending worship service on Sunday morning gets my week started out great and with a purpose. I take great joy in service to the members of my church being a deacon. It is an honor to partake of the Lord's Supper.The format of the worship service is similar to the way it was when I was a boy growing up in this church. My parents were faithful members here and I can touch their memories each Sunday. Sometime certain hymns bring back wonderful memories of my parents, Red & Jeane Williams. I also enjoy and take comfort from fellowship with my church family and friends. We are so fortunate to have Rev. Jordan Byrd. He brings insight and clarity to the scriptures in a unique way. I always gain knowledge from his messages and also practicable ways to apply God's Word into everyday life experiences.
