On Sunday
evening, July 6th, Dover Baptist Church held an ordination
ceremony for Jamie White who is now the church's newest
deacon. The service was very inspirational and a large group
of church members and family attended. During the service it
was explained that the position of deacon is one of service,
not of prestige. 1 Timothy 3: 1-13 was read and Jamie gave a
brief testimony. Brother Early also gave a short sermon on
the history of the deacons and what being a deacon entails.
After the Laying on of Hands, Brother Early presented Jamie
with a commemorative ordination certificate and a Bible.
After the service, cake, punch, cookies and other snacks
were served at a reception held at the Family Life Center.
We would all like to welcome and encourage Jamie White in
his new position as deacon.
