Deaconing
Yesterday I realised, in the middle of the 1000 service, how much I was enjoying being a deacon. The chance to help - assist - in the ministering of the service, both in the classic deaconing role, but also in things like taking the first part of the service, handing over to John for the absolution. Helping is an important part of being a deacon, and, for instance, I offered to help John consume the excess elements at the end of the service (that's the bread and the wine). Helping. Being part. There's a real ministry all of its own there, and I'm beginning to find it.Labels: diaconate
