From the Pastor’s Desk

Deacon’s Corner

Grace Good Shepherd is a “family church” in many ways. As a

small congregation, it is defined that way by its sheer numbers;

historically, long-time members would say it has always been a

family church because of its close relationships. The Deacons

want to be more intentional about their mission and ministry of

compassion by implementing “flocks” within our congregation.

Simply put, our Deacons have divided up our “family”—

members as well as friends—into flocks, with each Deacon

responsible for keeping abreast with the needs and concerns of

their particular flock. In this way, if there are emergency needs

or health issues that need immediate attention by the pastors or

others in our congregation, there is a Deacon in charge of being

the liaison. Soon, we will have a list flocks and which Deacon is

its “shepherd” for distribution. This will make it easier to

communicate—one phone call instead of many, and ensuring

that nobody in our family has a need or concern that goes

unnoticed. There is nothing invasive or set in stone about the

flock system…we will be celebrating joys as well as concerns in

our lives. The Deacons just want to be sure we are all “Good

Shepherds”—enhancing the relationships of our church family in

our busy lives!
