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.  According to the PCUSA Book of Order:

G-2.02 DEACONS: THE MINISTRY OF COMPASSION AND SERVICE
"G-2.0201 Deacon Defined - The ministry of deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of compassion, witness, and service, sharing in the redeeming love of Jesus Christ for the poor, the hungry, the sick, the lost, the friendless, the oppressed, those burdened by unjust policies or structures, or anyone in distress.  Persons of spiritual character, honest repute, exemplary lives, brotherly and sisterly love, sincere compassion, and sound judgment should be chosen for this ministry."

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.
