THE DEACONS PROGRAM

The twelve apostles called the whole group of followers together and said,

"We should not give up preaching God's message in order to serve tables. My friends, choose seven men who are respected and wise and filled with God's Spirit. We will put them in charge of these things. We can spend our time praying and serving God by preaching."

-Acts 6:2-4

 

"Aloha from the deacons and deaconesses of Central Union Church! We're pleased to help serve our church community near and far. Our responsibilities are varied. You'll see us attending church services on Sundays, but that's not all we do.

"Central Union Church's deacons and deaconesses are active, affirming, helpful, and ready to serve. We invite male and female members of the church to serve our respective boards that do so much good for so many in need. You help shape and mold the direction of our church as it moves ever forward in outreach to our church family and the larger community."
