Romans 16:1 "I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deaconess of the church in Cenchrea."

[My intention was to add to the other response, not to delete it. My apologies that I inadvertently deleted it. The other contributor is correct about the other women "servants" in The Bible, and those women are also mentioned as examples in one of the prayers of consecration for deaconesses found in the writings of the Apostolic Constitutions of the early Christian Church.]
