Gift Ideas for Deacon Ordination

[Indy Coug]

Since this is a new topic of discussion on Cougarboard, I thought I'd throw it out to CUF for discussion.

I'm going with a framed Photoshopped picture of BKP holding a white shirt in one hand and a tie in the other with a look on his face to the effect of "you'd better be wearing these".

I don't know. Maybe have his mom/dad cook his favorite meal after church that day.

Get him one of those little key chain oil vials, but fill it with Pixie Stix dust. Give him some refills, because those vials won't hold much dust. Later in life, he will either use it for sacred oil or cocaine, depending on his life's choices.

This is what I got, I highly recommend it. Looks like it's still available on ebay. If not, I think I may still have my copy and I'd be happy to give it to whomever for the price of shipping.

I knew there was very little chance of this, but from the front page your post said "Gift ideas for Deacon...." I was really really hoping when I clicked and the full title was revealed it would be "Gift ideas for Deacon Jones".

I our ward the Deacons quorum presidency usually goes to the new Deacon's house at 6am on the Saturday before the ordination and wakes him up (the parent's are obviously told in advance). They then put him in the leaders car and everyone goes to breakfast at the local IHOP or Dennys. The kids enjoy this much more than getting a pen with "Choose the Right" inscribed on it.

I love that tradition. What a cool way to welcome someone into the quorum.

When did a Deacon Ordination become like a Bar Mitzvah?

Exactly. We've just given them the power of God. It goes way downhill from there.

That is cool. I'm going to forward this to our YM pres.
