It was such a pleasure for the Deacons to serve breakfast to everyone in April. Thank you to all the Deacons who helped set up, brought food, and cleaned up. It’s a wonderful new tradition that the Deacons enjoy as much as the congregation.
Deacons made Easter themed care baskets in April for our friends of the church. 12 baskets were made with all kinds of goodies including: chocolates, chips, fresh fruit, crackers, little Easter gifts and hand made cards provided by our church youth. Thanks to everyone who contributed, packed baskets and delivered them.
SAVE THE DATE: We are gearing up for this year’s Strawberry Festival on June 13th. Last year’s festival was such a success that we are sticking with a Saturday and a similar (but even better) experience. Not to worry, we will have plenty of our traditional strawberry shortcake. More details coming soon.
As always, your Deacons are here to serve. If you need something, help in some way, someone to pray with, someone to chat with, some cheering up, someone to tell some fun stories to…WE ARE HERE FOR YOU. Please reach out and we are at your service.

Who are the Deacons?
The ministry of deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of compassion, witness, and service, sharing in the redeeming love of Jesus Christ for the poor, the hungry, the sick, the lost, the friendless, the oppressed, those burdened by unjust policies or structures, or anyone in distress. Persons of spiritual character, honest repute, exemplary lives, brotherly and sisterly love, sincere compassion, and sound judgment should be chosen for this ministry. –Book of Order, G-2.0201
Small but Mighty! What a group of dedicated caring individuals on our Deacon team! We are all delighted to be in person and ready to serve the church, the people and Christ! Many of us are learning, so we welcome everyone’s help and advice along the way.
We are excited to announce that we will be continuing our tradition of the Strawberry Festival this year (June 21st tentatively) and have plenty of ideas for freshening up the event. Please let me know if you’d like to be involved in the planning process - all are welcome.
Our March Deacon’s meeting is Sunday March 26th after church, we hope all the Church Deacon’s are able to attend. If anyone needs to do a remote meeting, please reach out and we will make that work.
On behalf of all the Deacon’s we are excited to serve.
