Introducing Your Care Deacons

In case you are not acquainted with our ministry, we would like to introduce ourselves and the work we do. We give active attention to those members whose quality of life is, in some manner, at risk. Many things assault our joy: illness or grief, worry and conflict, addiction or unemployment, troubled children and parents, financial and relational crises. As often and as ably as we can, we serve such needs. There are many facets to our ministry, including visits to hospitals and homes, personal calls and cards, memorial service and grief after-care, support groups for job seekers or Alzheimer care providers, AA and addiction recovery referral, and prayer ministries. A confidential log of concerns is reviewed and prayed over each week by your care deacons. We are always seeking to improve our care of members' needs. During this season, as you reflect on the quality of your life and the health of your relationships, please consider your need for our ministry of care. We are a team of 11 members, shepherded by Pastor Arvin Engelson and supported by Barbara Silverstein. We hope you will feel free to contact Barbara at 867-1000, ext. 209, with any concerns you or your family might have. If you are drawn to the work we do, we will find a place for your unique contribution.

Send Us Your Pictures

One of the nicest elements of our Sunday bulletin is the picture that peeks through the arched windows of the cover. We know that groups are gathering together on a regular basis for small groups, ministry events, community outreach and social gatherings. As you meet together, think about taking pictures for the bulletin and newsletter. We would love to feature your gathering as a way of encouraging other to get involved. Digital photos can be sent to Nicki at the church office. For more information contact Nicki at extension 224.
