"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
Matthew 25:40
About the Deacons
The Deacons is a ministry of the congregation whose purpose is to care for people in need. Individual Deacons are elected by the members of the congregation for three year terms of service. Although all of us are called to serve others in the name of Jesus Christ, the Deacons perform this function as a special calling, organized to provide intentional and perhaps long-term service to others. Some of the duties of the Deacons include:
-
Visit members and friends who are unable to leave their homes
-
Send birthday cards to senior members of the church as well as to those experiencing difficult times
-
Provides receptions for Baptisms in the church
-
Send care packages to college students and military personnel
-
Manage the Memorial Fund
Members
The Moderator of the Deacons is Dawn DiLorenzo. The Deacons meet at 7:00 pm on the first Tuesday of each month in the parlor.
The Mary and Martha Ministry
The Mary and Martha Ministry works very closely with the Deacons. This is a group of volunteers whose strength is a quick response when a need arises. They can quickly mobilize to provide meals for families, organize care and provide resources to those with specific needs. The coordinators for the Mary and Martha Ministry are Roberta Stagge and Bobbie Schulze .
