Life & Work of Deacons ConferencesOur Life & Work of Deacons conferences are two-day online events open to all deacons and deacon supporters. Meetings are usually Fridays, 7-9 pm Eastern and Saturdays, Noon-3 pm Eastern. A portion of the time we’ll focus on the inner life of a deacon – who we are as deacons, and what we need to thrive. The other portion we’ll focus on the work of the deacon – what we do!
There is a small charge to attend, or it's free with an automatic renewal annual membership or automatic renewal donation. If you register as a member but your membership has lapsed, you'll be contacted so you can renew your membership. |
