How Can A Deacon Help Me? Of course, you are the only one who can answer that question. However, there are some specific ways your deacon wants to try to help: Praying for You and With You • Believing that you are important and believing in the power of prayer, your deacon will join with the pastoral staff and other deacons in praying for you and each member of your family. A part of each deacons' meeting is spent praying about specific needs of families and in rejoicing over needs met and victories won. Giving Support in Times of Crisis • Sometimes your deacon can help you through the crisis by listening and giving support. Other times he will know someone else or a community agency that can help. Visitation • Your deacon may make visits throughout the year when you or someone in your family is in the hospital or you have sorrow or sickness in the home. Supporting You in Witnessing • As a deacon in a reaching church, one of your deacon's chief concerns is that you have the tools and support you need to witness to every member of your family and everyone that God puts into your path. Rejoicing with You and Your Family • Your deacon will share your joy when you celebrate important accomplishments in your life. Being Your Friend • As your deacon listens to your troubles and concerns, you will know someone who cares. Helping You Know Other Members • Your deacon will encourage you to participate in social occasions when other church members and families get together for fun and fellowship. As previously mentioned, this is just a few ways your deacon can assist you. However, we need to hear from you if you have a concern or need so we may come alongside you the best we can. |
