The Power of Vision
The Power of Vision 6th Sunday of Easter Pastor Pat Mecham Acts 16: 9-15 May 22, 2022 John 14: 23-29 Isn’t VISION a funny word? I have an insurance card in my wallet that shows that I have “Vision Insurance.” In other words, I can get my eyes examined and receive eye care without it costing me a fortune. We use the word “vision” to talk about seeing physical things with our eyes, then we turn around and say that someone…
Hearing God’s Call–Away
Hearing God’s Call–Away 5th Sunday of Easter Pastor Pat Mecham Acts 11: 1-18 May 15, 2022 John 13: 31-35 There once was a farmer who loved God and wanted to serve God. One day, while looking up at the sky, the farmer saw some clouds that clearly formed two letters: P and C. He just knew God was telling him to Preach Christ. He abandoned his farming and began going from place to place, talking to anyone who would listen, sharing…
The Valley of the Shadow
The Valley of the Shadow 4th Sunday of Easter Pastor Pat Mecham Mothers’ Day Psalm 23 May 8, 2022 Acts 9: 36-43 Well, it’s Mothers’ Day, and preachers around the country have had to figure out what to preach about today. Those of us who preach from the common lectionary have to decide: Do I focus on Mothers’ Day and Motherhood, or do I simply go where today’s texts lead me? In 42 years of ministry, I have often wished that…
Opportunity Nearly Missed
Opportunity Nearly Missed 3rd Sunday of Easter Pastor Pat Mecham Acts 9: 1-20 May 1, 2022 John 21: 1-19 Our flight from Paducah, KY to Minneapolis had been delayed, so we got to the gate for our next flight just in time to see it pulling away from the terminal.

Calling All Quilters, Knitters and Crocheters!
The SSPC Deacons would like to continue the tradition of distributing quilts, lap blankets, shoulder shawls to those in need. In order to be able to continue with this tradition, new quilts or crocheted or knitted lap blankets & shoulder shawls need to be made. This will be an on-going project throughout the year. At the end of the year, any quilts/lap blankets/shawls, that have been made, will be distributed to those in the congregation who might have a need…
Time to Retire
Well, my SSPC family, it is getting to be time for me to retire. I turn 69 in August, and, while some pastors stay “in the harness” well into their later years, I am certain that this is the right time for me. Your generosity in giving me an extra two weeks of vacation every year has made it possible to spend more time with our grandkids—thus enabling me to postpone retirement for a few years. I plan to stay…

The Pastor’s Perspective An Occasional Note Regarding Activities, News, Rumors, and Juicy Tidbits from Pastor Pat December 23, 2020 It’s a Boy! You may remember that, in a previous issue, we informed you that we are going to be grandparents again. Our daughter and son-in-law are expecting their first child in May (on or around Mothers’ Day), and the latest ultrasound revealed that it is a boy! While we would be happy with either gender, we are delighted that we…
