Deacons & Caregivers

Mission:
​To do what really matters to make a difference in the lives of our faith community and the world at large. 

Purpose: 

 To serve the entire congregation as caregivers in all life situations, connecting with, nourishing, and guiding each other one step further along a personal, communal, and spiritual journey. ​

The Role of the Deacon

 The Deacons help with pastoral care to ALL the congregation, so please do not hesitate to call on any Deacon if you need them. 
  • Serve the entire congregation as care givers in all life situations, connecting with, nourishing, and guiding each other one step further along a personal, communal, and spiritual journey (including hospital and home visits, transportation, meals etc.).
  • Serve the church, in the areas of worship and outreach all people who are in need of assistance.
  • Welcoming newcomers to our faith community.
  • Assisting in greeting worshipers at the door, handing out bulletins and praying for ourselves and others.
  • Keep in communication with our congregation especially in times of inclement weather and cancelled worship services.
  • Assist in baptisms and reaching out to all those in need, both young and old. 

                    We are actively seeking additional members to become Deacons at FCUCC. 

                  If you think you might be interested or would like to talk with someone about
                                being a Deacon, 
please contact Jim Canty at jcantyjr@gmail.com.
