Deacons

From the Book of Order:  "The office of Deacon as set forth in Scripture
is one of sympathy, witness, and service after the example of Jesus
Christ.  Persons of spiritual character, honest repute, of exemplary lives,
brotherly and sisterly love, warm sympathies, and sound judgment
should be chosen for this office.

Deacons are responsible to minister to those who are in need, to the
sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress both within and
beyond the community of faith.  The shall assume such other duties as
may be delegated to them from time to time by the Session, such as
leading the people in worship through prayers of intercession, reading
the Scriptures, presenting the gifts of the people, and assisting with the
Lord's Supper."
