The Deacons have formed a “Congregational Action Team” (CAT). CAT, in addition to having a catchier acronym than DAT (i.e., Deacon Action Team), was chosen over anything specifically having to do with the Deacons. Our hope is the small projects that we tackle will eventually become a Church-wide activity and not just something the Deacons do. In essence, CAT will focus on performing random acts of kindness for people in need in our community.

Initially, these will be small projects such as shoveling snow from sidewalks, mowing lawns, trimming bushes, fixing a broken railing, painting, helping someone file their taxes or balance their check book, taking a meal to someone in need, or just being there to talk, etc. The Deacons have contacted local community outreach agencies to make our presence known and that we are here to help.
One need has already surfaced and is being met. By way of this announcement, and others, the Deacons are making the presence of CAT known within the Church. Surely it will start small; but we look forward to the emergence and growth of this mission-based project. If are willing to serve on CAT, please contact Doug Wolf or any other Deacons.

Since the projects are completely random, when and how much time you choose to spend helping others will be completely up to you; and there won't be any meetings to attend! More importantly, if you know of someone in need of CAT's services, please contact Doug Wolf or one of the other Deacons. No job is too big or too small. Okay, maybe some jobs are too big; but contact us just the same, and we'll see what we can do! That's what CAT is all about. Thank you!
