My search and call came to fruition and I have been called and accepted the position as senior pastor at First Congregational Church of Claridon United Church of Christ. I waited until my children had finished with the school year - 2006. And, I am still here. The links above will take yo to my church home and the SITE DIRECTORY links in the left sidebar (scroll down bellow the videos) will take you to content within this website. Thanks to all who have wished me the best and have prayed and kept me within their inter-most thoughts and prayers during this search process. SEE NOTE BELOW: [ There is a DVD available (VHS if required) of Field Education sermons that I preached at St. John's United Church of Christ, Mansfield, Ohio, Sunday worship. These were recorded in Fall 2004/Spring 2005. From the cover notes. ]
Hi. I’m Pam Easterday. I preach EXTRAVAGANT WELCOME, the Good News about God’s LOVE for EVERYONE … “I have read that love is like water cupped in your hands. You cannot grip it tightly. It escapes, to return to its source. You can scoop water again and again. You can splash it, bathe in it, or drink it. You cannot hold it still for long. Water and love may be enjoyed and shared. Stuffed in a bottle, it grows stale. Set free, water can run clean and fresh. It seeks its source. Rivers rush to the sea. Evaporating to the clouds, water comes back again and again. We cannot grip love. We may show it to children. We may pour it out and share it. We may drink deeply and bathe in it. It comes from the wellspring of life … Drink in love, again and again …” ———————— EXCERPTED from “STEADFAST LOVE”
NOTE: I am keeping the above for the link and the following for context, but, now that I have been called to a church, I will no longer be making the DVD/Video available - If your congregation is in the search process and you require something tangible besides the written profile contact me and I will be happy to get the video to you - Thanks to my husband for putting together this DVD/Video. It seemed to serve the purpose of allowing me a toe-hold with search committees because I obviously lacked experience no matter my enthusiasm, education or resume. I think that my potential came out strongly on the video. And, that was the purpose. Sincerely, Pam.
Graduation from MTSO took place on May 21, 2005, Ohio Wesleyan University, Gray Chapel. The message was given by the President and General Minister of the United Church of Christ, Rev. John Thomas. What a day! Left to right (Kat, Pam, Anna Easterday).
