Deacon's Quorum Presidency

Today Ryker was set apart as a 2nd councilor in the Deacon's Quorum Presidency. It's his first ever calling so I had to make a note of it. 

During the little meeting that they had together I learned that these Young Men do receive certain priesthood keys along with these callings. I had never realized that because the Young Woman class presidencies don't obviously get Priesthood Keys. So I thought it was pretty cool that Ryker gets to already exercise some of the Aaronic Priesthood Keys with this new calling. 

In the setting apart blessing Brother Jon Ammons bestowed the keys to Ryker and gave him a blessing along with it. The few things that I caught  He said...

"Heavenly Father is proud of you for following Jesus Christ"

"...with the power that he desires to give you as you enter a new phase of life."

"...be observant of your quorum and their needs."

" you will be stretched, lifted and empowered."

"...unique brotherhood with being apart of the presidency."

"...share your testimony frequently with friends and the quorum."

"...Be a Light!"
