Trinity Deacons
Deacon Ministries
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’” Matthew 25:35-40 ESV
Our Trinity Deacons are servant-leaders whose ministry is to serve our Lord by serving our Trinity Church family. Our congregation is divided up into “flocks” (see below), and each Deacon stays in contact with the members of their “flock” to offer encouragement and assistance as needed. Please feel free to contact your Deacon whenever you are in need of prayer or encouragement.
widows & singles
All Saints Ministry
Our “All Saints” Deacons provide support and encouragement to those in our Trinity congregation who are widowed or live alone, extending love and kindness through fellowship and prayer. Special “All Saints” get-togethers and fellowship events are planned several times each year.

People Helping People
When a hardship exists, our “People Helping People” Deacons assist with moving from one residence to another and may also provide help with home repairs.
sending encouragement
Sunshine Ministry
When a pastoral care need or other occasion warrants, notes and cards of sympathy and encouragement are sent by our Deacons to individuals and families in our Trinity congregation.

Our Pastoral Care Deacons make calls and visits to those who are in the hospital, care facilities, retirement or care homes, as well as to those who are unable to leave their homes. This ministry also provides CDs of the Sunday morning message for those who are not able to attend worship.
