Final Call for Feedback on Deacon Candidates
WE’VE GOT FIVE DEACON CANDIDATES - WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK
We’ve got a group of members we’ve been assessing and equipping to serve in the office of deacon. Your pastoral team commends each of these individuals as faithful saints who have displayed a heart for service and met the qualifications of a deacon as outlined in Scripture. We hope to install them before the church on Sunday, 6/8.
But before we get there, we want to hear from you. These candidates will be positioned to serve you in significant ways so we’re asking for your feedback on what you see in their lives and their suitability for the office.
THE CANDIDATES
1) Daniel Lee
2) Fernando Madrigal
3) Peter Robles
4) Truman Severson
5) Jennifer Williams
READ 1 TIMOTHY 3:8-13
Please provide your input, affirmations, or concerns - specifically as it relates to the qualifications listed in 1 Tim. 3:8-13 - to our pastoral team.
8 Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. 9 They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. 11 The women likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things.12 Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. 13 For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
