The Board of Deacons serves the Church in many ways. Every Sunday there is a Deacon of the Day responsible for coordinating ushers, managing the sound and video systems, posting the hymn numbers, maintaining the sanctuary in a neat and orderly manner between services and whatever else is needed to make our Sunday worship services run smoothly. Deacons prepare the elements for Communion Services and assist in serving to the congregation. The Deacons also send cards to the sick and shut-ins and assist at memorial services. Financial assistance is provided for youth to attend the Church camp in Johnsonburg, NJ, and to those in need through the special Deacon’s Collection taken on Communion Sundays.

Magazines
 
The Deacons supply 2 devotional magazines, These Days and The Upper Room. These can be found in the rack above the guest book in the Narthex. Everyone is encouraged to take one.

Food Collections

There is a box in the Narthex and other designated locations throughout the year for donations of canned goods and non-perishable foods. Food baskets are prepared at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas from donations provided by the the Congregation and distributed to needy families referred by the local school districts and supplement local food pantries
