Board of Deacons
|
| The Board of Deacons at East Liberty Presbyterian Church is
called by God to seek out and serve the needs of those in
greatest need—the poor, the sick, the homeless, the aged, the
distressed and the disenfranchised. The work they do is both
spiritual and practical in nature, ministering to the family of
faith within ELPC, and striving to recognize and soothe the
suffering within the local and surrounding community. The strength of their resources
comes from their willingness to share God's Grace and the
capacity to commit to hard work. This is accomplished in part by
sponsoring, organizing and participating in numerous Deacon
activities throughout the year.
Seasonal ministries:
- Delivering Easter lilies to
homebound members.
- Hosting an annual luncheon
honoring older church members and their guests.
- Providing gift certificates
for food to families in need at Thanksgiving.
- Organizing the Advent Giving Tree which provides
less-advantaged children with Christmas gifts they would not
otherwise receive.
