Deacons – your pastoral care contacts in MCC Manchester

Our deacons are: Alan, Margaret, John, Anne, Andy Pugh, and Catherine.   Their purpose is to share with Andy the pastoral care needs of those who attend our church.

They are available for informal chats in church after Sunday worship, and they can be contacted either by email or by text at other times.

You can email them via the following email addresses:

MCC Manchester appoints Deacons to assist with pastoral care in the church

Over the last two months we have been training a team of people to offer pastoral care in the church.

Margaret Roberts, John Foulds, Anne Roberts, Alan Townend, Catherine Poulton and Andy Pugh will form a team of Deacons who will work with Andy to provide pastoral care in church. They will, in particular, follow up on absences, help integrate the newcomer and provide a listening ear when needed.

We will be installing them on Sunday 18th April. Apart from contacting them in church they will also have dedicated email addresses where you can contact them.

Deacons mean different things in the various church traditions; in MCC they are simply noted as a “historic ministry of service” and are, most often, used for pastoral care.
