Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. — Galatians 6:2
Being a Deacon is a wonderful call to service. Deacons are the “servants” or “caregivers” of our congregation. In this large congregation, people have all kinds of needs – they are recovering from surgery, grieving, lonely, ill, or otherwise in a time where they welcome the ministry of care from our congregation. Deacons strive to be the hands and heart of the Church in our ministry of caring. As Deacons, we are given the opportunity to know other church members in a deeper way, serving alongside them and growing in your understanding of the burdens people carry and how the church can help.
Some of our Deacons lead specific service roles, such as coordinating funeral service luncheons, providing delivery of home-cooked meals, or creating beautiful prayer quilts and shawls to share with members who are struggling or grieving. However, all of our Deacons, under the guidance of Pastor Ben, are available to help members of our congregation in any way we can.
