"For a second year, our community of deacons is participating in the Province 1 Deacon Day. We call it the 'Deacon Crawl'. The purpose of the day is to send our deacons out to congregations that don't have a deacon. At their assigned congregations, they exercise the deacon's ministry and answer questions about the role of the deacon in the Church."
