Deacons

The office of deacons as set forth in Scripture is one of sympathy, witness, and service after the example of Jesus Christ. Our deacons provide coffee fellowship on Sunday morning, prepare the bread and drink for communion, visit the sick, deliver baby spoons, host memorial receptions, welcome our new members, and provide care and support for those in the congregation and community.

Graceful Stitches

Shawls, scarves, lap robes, baby hats, baby blankets, and teddy bears are made to cradle recipients in good times and bad times, to offer them hope, to keep them in joy and to grace them with peace.
