The Work of the Deacon & Deaconess (Used Paperback) - Harold Nichols

In this book, a deacon speaks from experience. Harold Nichols, a deacon of forty years' experience who has conducted numerous training sessions for his fellow deacons in churches of the Philadelphia Baptist Association, outlines this significant work unofficially, as he sees it. He covers the origin of the deacon, requisites and qualifications, organization, ordinances, worship, watchcare, the unchurched, training, relationships, finances, and the deaconess. He includes letters and record cards for the deacon, a fellowship friend plan, and a zone visitation plan. Mr. Nichols has been experienced as a church trustee, financial secretary, treasurer, member of the board of missions, and a member of the state convention's board of managers.
