Hi! My name is Debbie Evanovich …. The reverend Deborah Lee Evanovich if you want to be formal … but I really am not a person who stands on formalities! Kids call me Pastor Debbie and everyone else … just Debbie.

I am one of the Pastoral Care Associates here at SPC … and I love my job … I think I have been training for this position my whole life … just talking to people of all ages and getting to know them and about their lives … their joys and their struggles. I am here to talk to you … about anything that is important to you … just stop into my office … or give me a call on the phone and we can get together … at your place … or my office … or out for coffee or food … one of my favorite places to meet!

I work with Frank Stricklen to prepare the Crossings worship celebration each Sunday … he is music … and I am devotions and details. Crossings is a wonderful alternative worship focused on music, scripture and prayer. Join us any Sunday beginning at 8:50am in the Fellowship Hall.

Also, I am the staff liaison to the Board of Deacons. Each month, I share a timely devotion with the members to begin each meeting and then, listen and affirm as they review the many responsibilities of their group. They are a talented bunch of men and women serving the church with a special ministry.

A new ministry at SPC … the Stephen Series … also falls under my umbrella. Stephen ministers are trained to provide one-on-one confidential support for individuals who are going through struggles or changes in their lives and need a compassionate listener. Lots of people find themselves in such a position in this world where everyone is busy with their own focus. Give me a call … I can match you with a perfect partner to handle the stress and tension of life’s difficulties.

Personals about me … I am married, have three adult children, and have lived in the Bethel Park area for most of my life. I am a 1994 graduate of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and was ordained at John McMillan Church, Bethel Park in March 1995. I am glad to be here … and I hope we get an opportunity to share stories very soon!!
