Deacons are instruments of God's loving grace...The diaconate ministers to the body of Christ by serving and supporting the leadership, by protecting and promoting church unity, and by spotting and meeting tangible needs. Through it all, the glory of Christ - the King of Kings and Deacon of deacons - is manifested and magnified through the loving and gentle hands of our deacons.
