Deacons

Listen. When deacons visit our church members, they are good listeners. We ask our friends to tell us about how things are going for them. We want to build relationships by being a good friend who will listen to their concerns and pray for them.

Outreach. With a team of 21 deacons, we have delivered Christmas Amaryllis bulbs to those in nursing homes, Memorials plants for those who have lost loved ones in the past year, delivered Valentines Candy to 43 people to give a Valentine’s cheer, and to our home centered persons. We are blessed when we see smiles on the faces of those who received love and care from our deacon board. Deacons have provided many thoughtful and beautiful Celebration of Life luncheons for families. We count it an honor to be there for our families in this time of sorrow.

Vital. Where would the hand and feet of Jesus be without intentionally reaching out to our church family? Can you imagine how heartbroken you would feel if you as a church member were no longer able to attend due to health or other reasons? Wouldn’t you want to know that you are still valued? We want you to know that being out-of-sight doesn’t mean you are out of fellowship. We care about you!

Energetic! Yes, that is right! Serving, loving, caring, in all that we do, takes a commitment from our deacon board. We love to see God at work in and around our church, by the love and energy that we put into our church family.

If you, a friend, family member, would like to have a deacon come walk beside you, please call Ericka at the church. All we ask is that you get the person’s permission to say that they would like to have a deacon contact them. Deacons are on the move at our church, and we LOVE YOU!
