Deacons and Trustees Affirmation Day. On today, we, the corporate body of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, celebrate the men who have taken on a laborious task and as such have declared their
willingness to serve the Body of Christ, the Church. The essence of this day is a matter of Spiritual Self-Actualization. Men who are real about the title they wear. The reality is they are who they profess to be. We are celebrating men who understand the qualifications of Deacons and are publicly affirming that they possess those qualifications. There is the spiritual assertion that these are men of integrity and are well respected. These are men who realize who they are working for. Their ultimate commitment is to Him. As members of the Body of Christ, we appreciate the commitment to the Kingdom that our Deacons and Trustees have made and we praise God for them.
On this day as the Deacons and Trustees assert their servanthood, let the membership respect the leadership that is found in their servanthood. May the Lord Jesus Christ, and God, the Father, comfort your hearts Brethren, and stablish you in every good word and work.
Be blessed as you walk in Him.
Pastor J. Amos Jones
