Deacon Ministries

... to love and serve God and neighbor with open hearts, open hands and open minds.

Throughout the year, the Board of Deacons hosts numerous fellowship and mission-related activities. Some examples include:
  • Fellowship time each Sunday after worship, complete with coffee & hot cocoa or lemonade & iced tea, along with various sweet treats
  • An all-church birthday party with cake, ice cream, music and games
  • A partnership with the New Jerusalem Food Pantry on the Syracuse South Side
  • The Pebble Hill Community Garden
​The Board of Deacons appreciates the Pebble Hill congregation's faithful support of our ministries.

New Jerusalem Food Pantry
On the third Sunday of every month, the Deacons deliver food items to the New Jerusalem Food Pantry, part of an area-wide pantry network in the city of Syracuse. We purchase needed food items and combine these with donations from the Pebble Hill congregation. Our involvement with New Jerusalem dates back to the founding of Pebble Hill Church in 1956.  The food pantry serves large families and others whose needs are not adequately met by traditional pantries. At Thanksgiving, the Deacons also receive monetary donations towards the purchase of turkeys to supplement our November delivery.

Holiday Stocking Project
The Deacons collect supplies for Pre-K classes at Dr. Weeks Elementary School in Syracuse. Using donations from the Pebble Hill congregation, the Deacons purchase books, school supplies, toys and treats to fill a stocking for every child. We also support members of our congregation who are teaching in the Syracuse City School District by providing books and other supplies.

Easter Lilies and Spring Flowers
The Deacons coordinate the ordering of Easter lilies or spring flowers in celebration or in memory of loved ones. These beautiful flowers adorn the sanctuary and, after our Easter Sunday service, may be taken home . The Deacons purchase additional flowers for delivery to our members and friends who are unable to physically join us for worship. The flowers are a simple way to spread the joy and color of the season.
