The office of
deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of sympathy,
witness, and service after the example of Jesus Christ . . .
It is the duty of deacons, first of all, to minister to
those who are in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and
to any who may be in distress both within and beyond the
community of faith. . . . (from
Book of Order, G-6.0401 and G-6.0402)

Deacons provide, and
lead the congregation in providing, the ministry of loving
care and compassion. This includes, but is not limited
to the following:
providing the ministry
of intentional visitation and attention to the homebound,
hospitalized, or those in nursing homes;
coordinating the
ministry of the Friendship Book;
coordinating homebound
communion;
being aware of
concerns in the larger community and rallying us as a
congregation to respond.
