Deacon Nominees
Calvary’s Deacons are given the fiscal responsibility for the church, overseeing budgeting and
expenditures and also seeking ways to care for members of the congregation in need. They are
responsible for the administration of all business matters of the church and function as trustees
in legal transactions. The selection of elders and deacons will take place by casting of lots at the
Annual Meeting on September 16.
