  8. Deacon's Benevolence Fund - Benevolence: "A disposition to do good. An act of kindness." Did you know that the Board of Deacons has a Benevolence Fund? Do you know what it is for? Do you know where the monies come from and where they go?

    The purpose of the Deacons' Benevolence Fund is to help those in need. It may be a person from the community or within our church family. There are monies available to help with immediate needs such as rent, utilities, food, medical etc. A person only needs to contact the church office with their particular need. A small committee of deacon’s review the request before monies is dispersed. All requests are kept confidential.

    The deacons raise money for this fund through the Strawberry Festival, holiday flowers, and other various fundraisers. By attending the Strawberry Festival, ordering flowers during Easter and Christmas and supporting any of the deacons' other fundraiser, you are helping to do good and are performing an act of kindness to others.

    Please help to support the various fundraisers held by the Deacon's or consider making a donation to the Deacon's Benevolence Fund. Should you know someone or find yourself in need of the Deacon Benevolence Fund, please contact the church office.


  9. Easter Flowers - To help celebrate the glory of Easter, the sanctuary is decorated with beautiful spring flowers—daffodils, lilies, and tulips. In years past, our congregation has donated more flowers than we could ever use.
    These extra donations go to the Deacons' Benevolence Fund to help support the work the Deacons do throughout the year, including the Thanksgiving Food Baskets and other local community needs. The flowers that decorate the sanctuary are also delivered by the Deacons to the senior or housebound members of our congregation following the Easter services.
    If you would like to make a donation, as a memorial gift, a gift of gratitude, a gift in honor of a friend or relative, or simply as a gift to the glory of God, the cost is $15 per plant. Please use the order form provided below. to place your order and indicate your dedication.
