Deacons Ministries

The JKPC Board of Deacons compassionately serves the needs of our congregation and our community through several "sub-team" ministries. Our ministries welcome volunteer help from anyone at JKPC as well as past Deacons.  If you have a heart or gifts for helping in any of these ministries, please contact Pastor Robert Bayley or any Deacon.

Bereavement Ministry — We assist family members in preparing for and managing memorial services and receptions. We maintain contact afterwards to determine any new needs and to provide continued support. The Memorial Coordinators and Reception Coordinators are part of this ministry.

Card Ministry — We write caring and supporting cards or notes to those who are in need, including our home-bound folks, those who are ill or suffering loss, or military service members.

Visitation Ministry — We regularly visit and bring communion to JKPC folks who are home-bound,  living in care facilities, or recovering from illness or hospitalization.

Meals and Home Assistance Ministry — We provide support meals at home after hospitalizations, surgery, births or similar events, and assist with minor home care needs (e.g. change high-placed light bulbs, rake fall leaves, etc.)

Transportation Ministry — We help people get to church for worship. Would you be willing to pick someone up on your way to JKPC and then take them home after worship?

Congregational Care & Community Aid Ministry — We review requests for assistance from within our congregation or from the surrounding community, and determine what help JKPC can provide.

Our Deacons for 2012 are Lorann Bjork, Joanie Brown, Mark & Paula Dillon, Dave & Connie Doll, Debbie Halvorson, Corky Luedke, Annette Proctor, Wayne & Jeri Swan, Addie & Dave Ward, and Rick Lentz (Moderator.)

The Deacons meet the second Tuesday of each month in the JKPC Fireside Room at 7 PM.  Feel free to join us!
