This Sunday we ordain two women of our church into the diaconate. We begin with a look at the times God called women to ministry in the Bible, starting with Deborah, one of the Judges of Israel in God's Theocracy. Then we look at the New Testament references concerning Phoebe. Phoebe was described as a deacon in the Book of Romans. Finally, we end the service with the charge and the Laying on of Hands.
