Deacons and Care Groups

The Deacons of TCPC serve as the hands and heart of Christ’s care within our congregation. The

caring will continue, but with a new added focus.

TCPC will now have “Care Groups” – groups of 15 (or so) households that will be under the care of one deacon. (If you were a member in the 1990s, you might remember “Clusters.” Similar idea, slightly different goals.)

The deacon’s role as a Care Group leader includes:

 Providing regular, caring contact

 Offering prayer and encouragement

 Helping to coordinate meals or support during difficult times

 Sharing needs with pastors when appropriate

 Strengthening relationships within the church family

Every active member of TCPC has been assigned to a deacon-led Care Group. You will be

contacted by your deacon very soon!

Once you know your deacon’s name, you are welcome to contact them with your needs and

concerns. As always, you may also share that information with the pastor, church office, and/or

the deacon group. Each e-newsletter has the contact numbers/emails listed.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact Cathy Curfman, Deacon Moderator.
