The purpose of the Board of Deacons is to be the “caregivers” of Emmanuel, to provide special care to members and friends of our church. Deacons typically provide assistance with memorial services including set-up, refreshments, serving, clean-up and any requests made by the family of the deceased. Deacons sell flowers to place in the sanctuary for Easter and Christmas. After the holiday the flowers are taken home or delivered to members in the community.
