Church Ministries

The Deacons are responsible for preparing the elements for communion, serving coffee and cookies after each worship service, buying and delivering the weekly flower arrangements, including the Easter lilies and Christmas poinsettias, to members in the hospital or nursing homes, providing transportation for our church members to our worship services, and extending sympathy cards.  The Deacons are also responsible for ordering and stocking the Upper Room and Care Notes publications, handling the inventory and organizing of the medical supplies that are loaned out for others to use, and welcoming new babies and church members.

Community Ministries

Each month approximately 35 bags of food are delivered to needy families.  Members of the church have helped by supplying goods and by helping to deliver the bags. 

Thanksgiving baskets full of food are also delivered to five families each year.  Christmas projects include: providing gifts for the needy through donations from the congregation from names on the annual Angel Tree and Mitten Tree, donations to the Safe Shelter and Department of Family Services (FIA), donations for the Veterans and active Military personnel, and 40 bags of snacks, mittens, and other essential items for the Juvenile Center.  The Deacons also arrange the annual Red Cross Blood Drive.

Fundraising and Special Events

The Deacons arrange fund raising events throughout the year to help support the Deacon projects.  Events include "Pies-Not-Ties" pie sale on Father's Day, a delicious spaghetti dinner, and a cookie walk.  The Deacons also host the annual Church Officer Appreciation Dinner which honors outgoing church officers.  The meal is always first class and we appreciate everyone's hard work in making this dinner such a nice event.
