Ordination of Deconesses at Clacton Church
Meet our new Deconesses
Deconesses ordained at Clacton Church
There was joy in Heaven and the Clacton Community church on Sabbath 22 November 2025 as three members of the church were ordained as deaconesses.
Our officiating minister Pastor Robin Lewis in his address to the newly appointed, drew on the example of Phobe as their inspiration who was a deaconess serving with Paul in the Early Church. They were asked to consider the strong, spiritual root which was their heritage and which will provide confidence as they take up their present and future commitments.
We all see this glorious experience as a privilege and are humbled by the fact that the Holy Spirit continues to speak to individuals about using their gifts to bless others. Each of the ladies ordained said a huge "yes" as the Holy Spirit spoke to their hearts.
On this beautiful day, the newly ordained were supported by the Church Leader, Elders and Deacons who actively joined in the celebrations and made the day very special.
We pray that the deaconesses will become beacons of light as they take up their duties in our church and community and many will be drawn to the True Light - Jesus our Saviour.
