His message was taken from Mark 3:1-4 on the subject- "Where is the Stewardship Legislation?" Is it lawful to do good?  More emphasis should be placed on running for Jesus than running for an office.  Take your faith journey because the "calling" takes precedence.  The service concluded with the ordination and consecration of one new local deacon and four itinerant deacons.
