As a member of Grace Church, one of the most important responsibilities you have in the corporate life of the church is to participate in the process of nominations and elections. Each year during the month of November the process of nominating men for the offices of elder and deacon begins. The nomination for deaconess begins at the same time. However, deaconess is not an office of the church so their nominations are for the purpose of helping the Session identify women to appoint to serve alongside the deacons in ministries of mercy. Be on the lookout for these forms in your mail and emails.
