Deacons
Thank you to everyone who attended and who helped to coordinate the Feb. 23 One Great Hour of Sharing!
The Board of Deacons, or Deacons, serves through witnessing, service, and sympathy, modeling after Christ. The Deacons board has 38 members, including the associate pastor, 37 regular members, and one youth member. The board meets monthly, except for the summer break (July and August).
There are three ministry units: Caregiving, Mission, and Service. The Caregiving unit is responsible for congregational care, including providing meals for members who need assistance due to illness, births, accidents, and other situations. They also provide luncheons and a quiet room with nutritional snacks for college-age students to study during semester finals’ weeks. For members who are homebound or cannot attend services, this group provides cards of encouragement. They also provide rides to and from church for those unable to drive. A key mission of this group is to provide constant support of our church members who are in the hospital.
The Mission unit provides a more general support and care to our church and local community. They are committed to supporting the local Food Bank, CROP Walk, Habitat for Humanity, ARC of Centre County, Centre Volunteers in Medicine, and Interfaith Mission. Two important fundraisers are the annual SERRV Sale and the One Great Hour of Sharing Auction and Dinner. The Deacons also coordinate the annual Christmas Dinner – which feeds nearly 350 people.
The Service unit provides support and service through special projects like the Palm Sunday Breakfast and One Great Hour of Sharing Auction and Dinner. They coordinate the annual church picnic.
The Deacons also provide much needed financial support to various projects and organizations, such as the LOGOS and Krislund scholarships, church upgrades (ice machine, power washer, and Tower Room), Mission Trips such as the Hurricane Katrina Rebuilding trips, and the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund.
