Blessings and Prayers for our Deaconess
The Gathering Community Church Deacons and Deaconess serve the families of the Church in many way’s. From Birthdays, Anniversaries, Heartaches and more our Deacon’s serve as an arm of the Pastor to provide comfort and support to those in need. This is not intended to be a position of power rather a position of Service to others.

Eric Senn
Born in the upstate of South Carolina and raised in the historic town of Cowpens, (SC) I had the good fortune of having Christian parents and grandparents, who saw that I was schooled and a regular attendee of church. The church has been a vital part of my life from a very early age. I was saved and baptized at 8 years of age.
A graduate of Cowpens High School and Wofford College, I entered the medical field during school as a tech in a local pharmacy. After graduation, I started my career in medical purchasing at two hospitals. It was there that I had the opportunity to enter the medical sales field. In 1989, I changed fields to selling different types of oils/petroleum (Shell) to industries primarily in the southeast and for a time covered the east coast. After 42 years in sales, I was blessed to retire here in Myrtle Beach.
I have been a member of Gathering Community Church for two years and humbled and honored to be a deacon for the past year. I enjoy Bible Studies and am a member of the Ushering Team, a Stephen Minister, and also serve as a Prayer Warrior with the Gathering Prayer Group.
I have a son and daughter and two grandchildren. I make my home at Ocean Lakes, where I enjoy music and anything involving water, the beach, the pool, and the waterpark.
