Personnel for each of the committees consists of at least one Elder appointed annually by the Session plus as many others as are deemed necessary selected by the committees from the congregation. The term of service for committee members is for one year (January-December), but members may be asked to continue in service at the request of committee chairs. It is expected that care will be taken to choose committee members on the basis of particular competencies, interests, and congregational responsibilities. The Elder(s) assigned to a committee shall serve as (co-)chairpersons for purposes of communicating with the Session - within the committee itself, responsibilities will be assigned on the basis of interest and ability.
Each committee has the option of distributing its work load to subcommittees of its own design. Each committee also has the responsibility for making budget recommendations for their own work and work related to their areas of responsibility.
There is no set schedule for meetings of the standing committees. Some, by the nature of the tasks which are confronting them at one particular moment will meet with considerable frequency. However, it is expected that the committees normally would meet at least quarterly, making regular reports on their activities to the Session.
Click on the name of the committee to see a job description for that group. Perhaps there is one or more on which the Lord is leading you, because of your talent and interest, to serve. Prayerfully consider how God wants to use you at Dorchester Presbyterian Church.

The Board of Deacons
Chaired by Jim Mallory
"The office of deacon as set forth in scripture is one of sympathy, witness, and service
after the example of Jesus Christ. Persons of spiritual character, honest repute, of exemplary
lives, brotherly and sisterly love, warm sympathies, and sound judgment should be chosen for
this office." (Book of Order G-6.0401)
From the earliest days of the church deacons have been especially responsible for the
church's ministry of compassion. When the apostles found that their primary work of teaching
and preaching took so much time that they could not give adequate attention to ministering to the
needy, they asked the members of the church to choose "seven men of good repute, full of the
Spirit and of wisdom" to carry out this work. These men the apostles ordained by prayer and the
laying on of hands. (Acts 6:1-6). Presumably these men were the first deacons of the church. So
today deacons are elected in the Presbyterian Church to "minister to those in need, to the sick, to
the friendless, and to any who may be in distress, both within and beyond the community of
faith." (Book of Order, G-6.0402).
It is important that the congregation's ministry of compassion not be slighted. For this
reason deacons ought to remain alert to means by which persons and groups of persons can be
helped in time of sickness, poverty, injustice, or other distress. It is this kind of concern that
gives rise to our Parish Plan by which we can keep in touch with our people and be aware of their
needs.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Each Deacon is assigned a "Parish" (a group of families within the congregation). The
purpose is to maintain personal contact with all church members/families. The Deacon is
the communication link between the household and the church.
- The Deacon should strive to be aware of the needs of the people in the assigned
parish, crises in their lives, changes in family structures, etc. Follow up on all of
the above and/or report to the church office.
- The Deacon is to communicate the love and concern of the congregation. Make
sure parish members are aware of the programs and activities of our church.
- Each Deacon should visit the households of the assigned parish at least once a
year and maintain phone contact as needed. Parish-wide get-togethers are always
appropriate.
- Those within the Parish that are shut-in or otherwise home-bound should be
visited at least once per quarter; such visits may be arranged in conjunction with
the pastor's distribution of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper.
- Be aware of birthdays and anniversaries of Parish members so good wishes can be
extended.
- Be responsible for sending Get Well and sympathy cards to sick and bereaved
Parish members.
- Deliver a church Parish Directory to each home when it is printed.
- Pray for each Parish family.
- Attend Board meetings.
- Elect a Moderator to handle administrative tasks of the Board.
- Arrange for transportation to and from church activities for those who desire to
participate but need such assistance. Develop a cadre of drivers willing to provide
transportation to and from church events for those who need assistance.
- Make an initial contact with new members as assigned by the Board to get acquainted and
explain the Parish system.
- Coordinate the delivery of flowers after worship services, preparing small arrangements
in vases to deliver to members who are hospitalized or shut-in.
- Deliver fruit baskets, poinsettias, Easter lilies, etc. to the shut-in members of the church at
appropriate times of the church year.
- Establish a Bereavement Committee to coordinate and provide such service as needed
following a death in the congregation including, but not limited to, providing a meal at
the church or home for the family following the funeral service, any transportation
needed, house or other "sitting", etc.
- In conjunction with the Christian Education and Mission Committees, encourage the
entire congregation in their own ministries of compassion by offering occasional
educational opportunities offering instruction in such areas.
- Support a congregation-wide "prayer chain" to call attention to prayer needs as they arise.
- Arrange for review of worship attendance records to see if individuals/families need
particular attention.
- Annually review the church's membership rolls, reporting to the Session any individuals
whose participation (or lack thereof) would make them candidates for removal to the
Inactive Roll.
- Undertake such other duties as may occasionally be requested by the Session.
- Develop an annual budget for submission to the Stewardship Committee to include the
work of the Board as well as recommendations concerning funding for expenses related
to the ministries of compassion of the congregation.
- Make recommendations to the Session concerning revisions of the Board's areas of
responsibility to be reflected as standard operating procedure in the church manual.
