About Us

According to Wikipedia "The office of deacon has different meanings among different Presbyterian churches. In some churches, deacons exercise responsibility for practical matters of finance and fabric, either separately or together with the elders. In some cases deacons administer the welfare matters of the congregation, while a separate board of management or trustees administers the other material business of the congregation, such as its endowments, salaries and buildings."
At Second Presbyterian Church, Deacons serve in the capacity of overseeing the spiritual welfare of the church. They coordinate the Communion Service, which occurs the first Sunday of every month, and during special observances during the year. Deacons take Communion to those unable to attend church via a program called "The Furthest Pew". The Deacons report to the minister and the Session on a monthly basis. In those reports the Deacons give an overview of the needs, life events, and prayer requests of the congregation. In short, the Deacons of Second Presbyterian Church is one of service, sympathy and witness as in the example of the life of Jesus Christ. The congregation extends heartfelt thanks to the graduating Deacons in the Class of 2016 for their faithfulness and service: Yvonne Gallegos & Ella Porragas. |
