Deacons

The deacons’ primary function is to provide overall spiritual support to the congregation in times of need and celebration.

The deacons also help coordinate rides and meals for members who may be ill or recovering from surgery.

Delivering altar flowers to shut-ins or members who may appreciate flowers to cheer them up is also a deacons’ function.

Keeping in touch with members who may need a call or visit is also something the deacons do for the church.  Each deacon has a responsibility for a certain portion of the congregation.

An important function is the hosting of receptions following the celebration of life or memorial services.  The deacons take pride in providing these receptions for our members. The deacons are also responsible for distribution of the Journeying Through Grief series of booklets to those members who may request them after the loss of a loved one.

As a whole, the deacons address the spiritual and personal contact needs of the congregation.
