Welcome, New Deacons

Church, I am pleased to report that we as an elder team have established two new roles that we have needed as a church for greater care and service to the church body: Deacon of Facilities, and Deacon/Deaconess of Care.
[Below you can see the full descriptions of each role.]
 
Deacon of Facilities:
Having our own building now, it comes with the need for greater attention and someone to organize a team of helpers for various tasks that come up regularly. Mike Weyand has kindly taken up this vital role for us. Mike has proven himself as one who walks with God, loves people, and has such a servants heart. He is helping to take ongoing care for what the Lord has given us with our building. This is a huge role that relieves me personally from this to be able to focus on the other areas He has given me to care for. I have already felt the relief! (Thank you, Mike for taking this on!       
Deacon/Deaconess of Care:
This role of care is also vital for us as a church. As we have grown, we have noticed the need to ensure that people are not falling through the cracks as much as possible. Terry and Lynn Sonnenburg are leading this area of ministry. They become the hub of information and can distribute the care to a team of people to offer care for those who are suffering at Summit. Terry and Lynn also have proven themselves as walking with the Lord and their love for people. They have in many ways already been fulfilling this role, now it is simply better organized. Here, church, is another example of what servants of the Lord look like!
     
So welcome Mike, Terry and Lynn to their new deacon roles. They are an answer to prayer for us as staff and elders. This is good. This is how the Lord has kindly answered us to care well for the church as we grow. Thanks be to God!

Held Abundantly By His Grace,

Pastor John
