Jack Page will be commissioned as a Synod Parish Deacon. According to the Florida-Bahamas Synod constituting documents for the program (1998): “A Synodical Deacon is one who is inwardly compelled and outwardly affirmed for service in both the congregation and the world…. We understand a deacon as a particular minister with gifts and a calling for providing vision and practical leadership for the congregation’s ministries. Through their common calling and theological training, deacons, exercising their teaching responsibility, would assist the pastoral ministry in underpinning the particular ministries of their calling to the ministry of Word and Sacrament.” He will join the ranks of our other two deacons, Ruth Ann Hoy and Clyde Rosten.
