Edification and fellowship through meals is an enjoyable way to grow in unity and spirit. The organization and supervision of this effort is the responsiblity of three deacons. The deacons in this area are responsible for the New Members' Dinner, the Church-Wide Potluck in December, the monthly Wednesday evening meals, and any other special meals.
-
A New Members' Dinner, hosted by the elders, is planned and served by these deacons. This meal is held for all individuals and their families periodically throughout the year and serves as a time to welcome those who have become new members either by baptism or by placing membership.
-
The Church-Wide Christmas Potluck Dinner is held on the first Saturday night in December. This dinner is a festive occasion with wonderful food, fellowship and entertainment. The deacons in this area are responsible for the decorations, entertainment, setup and cleanup.

Membership |
Garry Evans -Involvement Minister/Deacon |
-
The objective of the current eldership is to keep this local flock together and as involved in the work of the church as each member would like to be. Therefore, records and activities must be maintained and scheduled. The deacon responsible for this area of work has the duties of seeing that an up-to-date file of all members is kept, including the attendance record of each one. Elders are advised when members are absent so that follow-up contacts can be made. Each member is asked to fill out an involvement card. It is the duty of the involvement minister to inform the leaders of specific areas of the willingness of each of our members to serve in whatever area they have requested.

It is important for our church to work toward making our congregation known as a friendly and cordial place to worship God. Besides welcoming each person to the service, greeters hand out the Sunday morning and Sunday evening bulletins. Responsibilities of the deacon in charge include coordinating with the office's current greeters listing, making assignments each week and contacting those assisgned to verify availability.

Senior Citizens' Needs, Glendale Place |
Bob Beecher - Deacon |
-
As with any congregation the size of Glendale, we are blessed with many members who are aged. It is the responsibility of this work to see that certain needs are met for those in this age group. This would include personal needs of members, as well as organized efforts for our community facilities. With each new resident of the Glendale Place facility, we are given the privilege of having a new "neighbor" in our neighborhood. It is our desire to use this opportunity to meet and get to know the needs of these individuals so as to have a positive influence on them and their family members. Members serving in this area will visit residents of Glendale Place and coordinate and assist them with special needs such as sickness or moves. We solicit drivers and other volunteers to aid all elderly members including those at Glendale Place.
