Deacons

Deacons serve the church body by supporting and caring for our community, as well as providing logistical support of our worship services. Some specific tasks include:

Benevolent Fund - overseeing the distribution of payments from the fund to those in need, also refers to resources for those in need.

Communion - ensuring that supplies are available and overseeing preparation of the elements and clean-up by the entire Deacon Board.

Coffee - purchasing supplies and preparing the coffee and food table for the 10:00 am and 12:15 coffee hours.

Coffee Hour Hosting - coordinating congregation members who sign up to provide snacks during the coffee hour.

Ushers - enlists members of the congregation to serve.

Meal Ministry - orchestrating the delivery of meals to new mothers and those in need.

Visitation - working with Kevin Campbell to visit the homebound and ill.

Lunches - preparing and serving food at these quarterly all-church meals, as well as cleaning up.

Publications - ordering and displaying the Care Note publications in the case between the front office and vestry.

Card Ministry - sending cards to congregation members in need.

Home Service Day - a new part of our ministry: we will coordinate a biannual event to help people around their homes with duties they can not perform themselves because of age or disability, also providing fellowship.
