The Ordination of Deacon Stephen

December 12, 2021 · Milestone 12 of 39

Our church rejoiced as we welcomed His Grace Bishop David, who ordained Dr. Samir Malek as a deacon to serve St. Peter & St. Andrew Coptic Orthodox Church, giving him the name Stephen. It was a joyful day for our congregation as we received this blessing and celebrated his ministry of service.

For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 3:13
