CARE MINISTRIES
DEACON MINISTRIES
WHAT IS A DEACON?
A deacon ministers to those who are in need, to the sick, and to the friendless. Members of our Board of Deacons visit the hospitalized and elderly; take meals to new parents or persons recovering from hospitalization; extend hospitality on Sundays after worship services; pray actively for known prayer requests; distribute beneficent funds to those experiencing financial hardship.
WHAT IS THE MEALS MINISTRY?
The Meals Ministry serves families or individuals within our church community by providing ready-to-eat meals. Designed to help ease daily burdens, this ministry is carried out by a network of volunteers within BPC who serve one another by meeting the practical need for food preparation. For more information about our meals ministry, contact us at info@bidwellpres.org or call the church office at (530)-343-1484.
CORRESPONDENCE
Deacons attend to the life events of our church members by sending out cards and notes of encouragement, sympathy, praise, or recovery. If you know of someone who would benefit from this, please contact us.

HOW DO VISITATIONS WORK?
Deacons seek to bring the love of Christ by visiting members of our church who are hospitalized, in care facilities, or who are homebound. During the current pandemic, in-person visitations are suspended. We are happy to have phone call connections with individuals. To request, please contact us at info@bidwellpres.org or call the church office at (530) 343-1484.
WHAT IS THE DEACON FUND?
We are fortunate to have a fund for individuals who are going through financial hardship. We typically reserve these funds for church members, but we do have limited funds available for non-members. To find out about the application process for the deacon fund, contact us at info@bidwellpres.org or call the church office at 530-343-1484.
