Since the early Christians, members of Christ's Body appointed men and women, called deacons, to minister to those in need. These pages highlight the ministries available through the deacons and our congregational support. Bereavement Deacons coordinate receptions following funeral services, arranging for volunteers to prepare and serve side dishes and desserts. Blood Bank Deacons arrange for publicity, record credits for monthly donations, and send thank-you notes.
Congregation donates blood for credit to be used by members of the church.
Card Ministry Deacons mail cards to church family members who are in need of emotional support, are parents of a newborn, or are seriously ill or hospitalized. Congregation and members indicate to pastors or church office manager the names of such members. Congregation uses the gift and food suggestion lists to donate food and gifts or donates money to be used for perishable items. Congregation donates to Deacons' Offering collected after communion funds used for supplying needs of members and deacons' ministries. Flocks Deacons maintain contact with a group of members, recognizing their birthdays, calling or sending notes to those unable to attend, being alert to special needs.
