Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the beginning of summer at our annual Strawberry Festival. We had attendees from as far away as Altoona. Though an exact number wasn’t captured, we all agree that our attendance was better than ever before. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us, to MilePost 6 for the musical entertainment and to all the volunteers that made the event possible. Please know we appreciate all the help; we couldn’t have done it without you.
While we don’t have an official meeting in July and August, the Deacons would like you to know that we are here for you. If you need us, please reach out. All of our church members and friends have a Deacon assigned to them. If you don’t know who your Deacon is, please ask any of the Deacons or Judy and we’ll direct you. Enjoy the warmth while it lasts and know you are in our prayers. – The Deacons |

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.
