Question
who is responsible for this service

Answer
Hi Rodney,

Sorry for the delay but I have only just received this question.

I can only tell you that in our Baptist church which is in the UK, our Deacons set up and prepare for Communion, ready for an Elder to take the service. Obviously the Elder is responsible and prepares and gives the Word.

The Deacons are also responsible for the distribution of the wine and bread to the fellowship.
But this might not be the same practice as in Baptist churches in other countries.

Hope this helps.

Regards and God Bless

Expertise

I can answer most questions on the subject of the Baptist/Christian faith. I am an active member of a Baptist Church Fellowship. I study the Bible and the Scriptures every day and have no problem talking to people about this. I am more than happy to answer the Lord's calling and help and support all people that are in need. I believe that is now my role in life.

Experience

Some times people go the wrong way in life because they have been let down by those that are close to them. It is all about trust, compassion and support. I carry out a lot of outreach work, so I know how important these things are to be able to reach people. I have worked with drug addicts and the homeless, as well as young people who have lost their way in life or are in prison.

Organizations
Baptist Fellowship.

Publications
My articles and letters have appeared many times in the local paper.

Education/Credentials
I am am a Deacon and secretary of my church, and also spend lots of time now also ministering to people in old folks homes as well as other outreach work.

Awards and Honors
I have won a National award for working with and supporting sick people.

Past/Present Clients
I do not call them clients, they are people in need of the love of God and of people. I have mentored many young people, including those that are in our local prison, to hopefully live an honest and Christian life.
