Fresh Faces
At last night’s church meeting we elected four (yes, four) new deacons.
- Karen Murdarasi
- Jeanette Craig
- Christina Allaway
- Naomi Allaway
These women join Bill McDowell, Elma Paxton and Rob Galbraith in the deacon’s group, managing and administering the activities and affairs of the church.
I read an interesting phrase in a book by Dave Tomlinson yesterday, which I thought was relevant to all the deacons, but particularly to the new ones:
Christianity is about the kingdom not the church.
I hope that the new deacons will bring their personalities and fresh perspectives to the running of the church, so that we all may focus on how we implement aspects of Jesus’ kingdom here in Glasgow.
