Board of Deacons: This 12-member Board could be considered a direct extension of the Pastor.  As such, it is responsible for regular and special worship services of the church, including content and music. Each of the Deacons is assigned a "district" of 12-16 families and is encouraged to act as the assistant minister for these families. In addition, each Deacon is expected to serve on one sub-committee whose duties include helping plan services, arranging flowers for services, welcoming visitors, visiting shut-ins, and ushering. Since the fall of 2000, our Deacons have also been taking Communion to several shut-ins within our congregation.  Typically, we visit one or two individuals, in pairs, each month.
