The Board of Deacons
Presently there are 18 members of the Diaconate at Phillips Memorial Baptist Church with two committees, the Worship Committee and the Church Life Committee.
Worship
The Worship Committee schedules ushers, lay readers, children's story-tellers, announcements, and more. Communion is prepared, and served by the Deacons. Sunday morning and First Sunday services are planned with the Senior Pastor. Lenten programs are organized with the Board of Education and the Senior Pastor.
Church Life
The Church Life Committee focuses on congregational care. Home bound members of Phillips Church are kept in touch with by our Deacons. Greeters who welcome you to church every Sunday, are recruited by the Deacons. Important to church life, the Deacons help to organize membership classes, the right-hand of fellowship, and member orientation. They oversee the ordinances of baptism and the dedication of children and parents. They also organize the donations for flowers for the altar.
The Coffee House following worship and other receptions, and events that are wonderful for healthy congregational life are organized by the Church Life Committee. Such events are the annual church picnic, golf outing, church birthday party, etc.
