New Deacons and Elders

Yesterday, we had new deacons an elders appointed at Sylvan Springs Church of Christ. I am one of them and I'm truly humbled. Please keep me in your prayers. Also, please pray for the other new deacons and our two new elders.

One things I love about Sylvan Springs Church of Christ is the people. We have outstanding elders and deacons. Everyone is willing to work and as David says, our best years are ahead of us.

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. Their wives 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. (1 Timothy 3:8-13, ESV)
