An ordinary hero is a person who quietly (pastors don’t qualify) and faithfully serves.  These are people we should honor.  Do you know any ordinary heroes?  Send them to me at chris [at] theredbrickchurch.org

One of our people made an excellent suggestion for the first ordinary hero.  I couldn’t agree more.  Dean has been a “brick” longer than many of you have been alive . . .

*********************

Thank you for the opportunity to honor Dean, a very faithful and quiet servant.  Whether it’s passing out bulletins with good cheer and a smile or sometimes a hug, on Sunday mornings, serving for Holy Communion, listening to children’s verses at Awana, driving the tractor/wagon and helping wherever he can be useful at VBS and even assisting us with whatever we might need at a funeral luncheon. he is quietly there. These are only the areas where I have personally observed his faithfulness so I am sure there are many more.

It is a joy and inspiration to see him singing along with the Praise Team (he seems to know all the words to every song, too) as he passes out the attendance folders.  He is a rock of our church and, most importantly, for God.

1 Thess 4:11-12.

  1. I agree, Dean definetly qualifies as a solid rock (brick) in our Church.
    Len always admired his devotion to being there when needed and he always has a great smile and greeting every Sunday..We should all take up his example and Church would really rock on Sundays in Stillman. A little play on words there, but you get my drift…

  2. I totally agree! The perfect “First” hero! His big smile and warm greeting is always heart-warming, and particularly when you are new to the church! Praise the Lord!!

  3. We have several “Dean’s” in our church. God bless all the Dean’s (and Deanette’s) out there who really are the rocks and foundations of the local church.

  4. Dean is definitely a Brick at our church! He ALWAYS has a smile.
    I’m very thankful for Dean.

  5. Amen! Dean was one of the first “bricks” that came to my mind too. I’m thankful for his faithfulness and leadership.

  6. You said “brick”, I thought Dean. What a blessing he is. I always look forward to trading quips with him on Sunday morning as he hands me a bulletin.

  7. Yes, Dean always smiles, chats and asks Steve if he “got those horses fed this morning.” What a great “brick”!!
