Deacon Ministry

“Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation,

full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business” Act 6:3

“Deacon” is a Syrian word that means servant. In Greek, it is “Diakon”. The deacon’s main job is to help the priest or bishop in his religious service. The first church appointed seven deacons, who were filled with the Holy Spirit and wisdom, “Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said… therefore brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.” (Acts 6:2-3). “whom they set before the apostles, and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.” (Acts 6:6)

St. Mina Hymns School Registration

With the grace of God, we are thrilled to announce the commencement of our hymn and deacon preparation services for this year. We are introducing several important modifications for this year:

1. Starting from grade 7, Friday classes will be split into girls and boys classes, aiming to enhance the learning experience for our children.

2. We are introducing altar response classes on Sundays. This course will run from September to December, equipping our young deacons with the skills to proficiently recite altar-specific responses.

3. Advanced hymn classes will be conducted on Saturdays. Further details regarding these classes will be announced soon, and enrollment is not currently open.

Registration is REQUIRED for attendance.
