Deacon Board
 

    The Board of Deacons convenes once a month, the Saturday before Communion Sunday, to prepare the Holy Eucharist.  Spiritual matters and concerns are discussed at our business meeting, which follows our preparation.

The “For They that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus”. 1Timothy 3:13

The Board of Deacons convenes once a month, on the Saturday before Communion Sunday. Following our preparation of the Sacred Altar and the Holy Eucharist, spiritual matters and congregational concerns are addressed.

Deacons assist the Elders in administering Communion during church services. In addition, Deacons provide Communion in the homes, or at the beside, of sick & shut-in church members.

For Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, the Deacons distribute gifts to parents, widows, widowers, convalescing members, and friends of the church.

In 2009, we continued to meet our commitment to assisting those in need, as well as administering spiritual and personal care to the bereaved and others facing difficult circumstances. Prayers, telephone calls, visitations, greeting cards, emails, floral arrangements, fruit baskets, monetary support, food, and personal condolences were among the other vital services provided to the congregation through our ministry.

The Deacon Board maintains the engine and purchases fuel for the Church Van, allowing the elderly to attend service each Sunday. Deacon Dalton George has earned the nickname “Moses” for his stalwart service in this regard.

Through financial contributions to World Vision, we continue to sponsor the car and education of three needy children overseas.

We assist and contribute funds to the Angel Tree program, which presents Christmas gifts to the children of incarcerated parents.

Each summer, we sponsor deserving children to attend the PCSA Vacation Bible School.

The Deacons host the Share Food Program and assist in the distribution and delivery of good packages.

The Deacon Board is entirely sustained through the tireless work, constant support, and generous contributions of the members of the Presbyterian Church of St. Albans. We thank the Clergy for their inspirational leadership and the congregation for their persistent Faith in our service to God’s Work.
