               Clerk of Session

Deacons from our congregation are selected each year to provide several duties.  Two Deacons each month are scheduled to visit our local hospital, assisted living centers, nursing home, and individual home visitations.  They prepare the items for the Communion Table for the times of communion.  The Deacons are responsible for the baptismal gifts from the church congregation that are given to infants when baptized in our church.  The Deacons have also been hosting, once a year, a morning coffee and rolls social time for the residents of the Miller Manor and the Plaza.
