Thank you for your willingness to serve as Lead Deacon.  On the Sabbaths that you are not scheduled for Lead but are attending, please make yourself available to the Lead Deacon that day to assist where needed.

If you are unable to serve as Lead Deacon on your scheduled Sabbath, please contact another Deacon on the list.  If you cannot get someone to cover for you, please contact me and I will help find someone.  Please do not just "not show up".  Let someone know that you will not be there so arraignments can be made to cover.  Thanks, Kenny
