Deacon Election

Sunday, June 21, 2015

Please be in prayer concerning the men who will participate in

this vital and God called ministry in our church.

“Therefore, brethren, select from among you seven men of good

reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in

charge of this task.” Acts 6:3

Deacon Election

2015

God has blessed First Baptist Church Headland with

many godly and faithful men. In the normal and

ongoing ministries of our church we observe these men

serving the Lord and the members of the body. Each

year we prayerfully “set apart” seven (7) of these

brothers to serve as active deacons for a three (3) year

term. The seven we elect are already deacons in their

character and ministry among us. We simply

recognize this when we mark our ballots.

During the Sunday Morning Worship Service of June

21, 2015 First Baptist Church will conduct our annual

deacon election. You will receive a ballot as you enter

the Worship Center and mark it during a designated

time of the service and then turn it in. A copy of the

ballot is included in this issue of The Clarion. If you

receive your Clarion by email, the ballot comes as a

separate attachment. Please look it over carefully and

prayerfully. Ask God to direct your thoughts and your

heart as you consider His leading for our church. Your

decision should rest upon the Scriptural qualifications

of a deacon as stated in I Timothy 3:8-10,

Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-

tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid

gain, but holding to the mystery of the faith with a

clear conscience. These men must also first be tested;

then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond

reproach.

In past years God has been faithful to lead His Church

to select good and godly men to serve Him as deacons.

Please pray first before you even read the ballot. Ask

God to direct your heart and mind toward men you

observe as possessing Christ-like character and active

service of His Church. We anticipate that God will

direct us once again as we rely on Him in prayer to

lead us in this 2015 deacon election.

Blessed to serve Christ alongside our deacons,

Cecil Sanders
