READ MORE ABOUT OUR WONDERFUL FRIEND ANNE on her celebration page
A long-time member of our SPC family, Anne McCormack passed away peacefully on Sunday night. She would have turned 76 on the 19th of this month.
Anne bravely battled cancer for a couple of years. Never one to complain, she maintained a perspective of hope and gratitude, measuring her own pain against the greater suffering experienced by others. She remained optimistic unto her last days. Yet, she was not given to denial. In her last visit with Pastor Paul on the day before she passed, she considered that while perhaps another treatment study might be available; if it wasn’t, she was “ready to go.” She was grateful for the good life she had enjoyed. She would enjoy more time, she said, yet she was grateful that at 75 she had lived a long life.
It was a life brimming with love and family . . . read more

Exciting things are always happening here! Please drop by our website and Facebook page often as the good news is updated at least weekly.
When I first came, I was struck by the deep caring evident in the SPC community, the warm and friendly atmosphere, and the congregation’s openness to, and interest in, spiritual traditions other than their own. I invite you to look around and get a feel for our inclusiveness. We welcome any comments or questions that might be on your mind. If you’re not currently a member of our community, or if you aren’t a “church person,” we invite you to drop in on a Sunday morning or to another musical or spiritual event. You may be pleasantly surprised. And of course feel free to reach out and call or e-mail me or other staff. Contact
We hope you and your family will have a warm and spirit-filled experience with us as we worship together, share fellowship at our services and events, and serve each other and the community through our ministries.
Many blessings to you,
Pastor Paul Mowry
