In this special series, we are releasing the audio versions of the plenaries and workshops from the OPC National Diaconal Summit IV, held June 2-4, in Wheaton, Illinois. There is so much good content in here, we decided to go ahead and release them in groups, so you can listen at your own pace. This is the second grouping of releases.

This session from the second group is Mr. Mike Cloy's workshop, "Disaster Response for the Local Church."  His bio and notes from this session can be found here.  

Referenced in this episode:

• "The Spiritual Nature of the Office of Deacon" by Carl Carlson printed in the Ordained Servant
• "The Deacon: Biblical Foundations for Today's Ministry of Mercy" by Cornilus Van Dam
• Follow along with Mr. Cloy's presentation slide deck.
• OPC Disaster Response Website

The video version of these topics are on OPCCDM.org. You may want to watch the video versions with your fellow deacons, maybe even as a part of your regular meeting, and then discuss. 

However you decide to use them, you won't be sorry you took the time. 

As always, like and share, and comment, if you can. We like feedback.
