It is with mixed thoughts and emotions that I write a last “pastor’s
page” for the Chimes newsletter. I’ve written about 200 over the past 18
years to encourage and/or challenge the church in its ministry and
mission. How effective I have been is an unanswerable question.
I have seen wonderful, amazing works of our Lord through his
people here at 1st Pres. I’ve also experienced frustration when things that
God began were left undone or unfulfilled.
Just a quick glance at Chimes articles give a beautiful array of
people, programs, and accomplishments of our church life together.
Special annual experiences of Christmas, Easter, and the Kirkin’ stand out
in my mind and heart. Choir concerts, all-church activities, Bible study
and prayer groups added so much to our people’s lives. Countless
sermons, children’s messages, Vacation Bible Schools, community service
projects all made this church an active, vibrant one.
For me, best of all were (and are) the relationships, the friendships,
the mutual support and care we shared in the midst of it all. As a pastor, I
was privileged to be invited into the lives of so many for the joy of
weddings, baptisms, and family celebrations as well as in times of grief
and loss, problems in life and faith. I count all of these as most precious.
As I retire from full-time pastoral work, I’m wondering how
anything can take the place of all of you, the people of 1st Presbyterian
Church. But I’m sure that God has plans for me and for you in the days to
come.
With love for each one of you
In the Lord Jesus Christ,
Pastor Mike

In 2016 David Butts wrote a book titled The Devil Goes to Church: Combating the Everyday Attacks of Satan. In this book he explores the ways in which Satan attacks the church. Paul warned about this in his letter to the Ephesians (6:12). “ For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Jesus himself, when he prayed for his disciples and for us in John 17, specifically prayed for our protection from Satan. Verse 15; “My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.”
In David Butts’ book he looks at the very real ways that the devil does come to church and attack. And one of the times Satan is especially likely to attack churches is when they are in transitions of leadership. The good news is that Satan uses the same tactics over and over again. The same Satan that tempted Jesus in the wilderness is the same Satan that will try to make our church fail. So if we are aware of what these tactics are, we can be on the lookout for Satan disrupting our church. The biggest danger is being unaware of what Satan is doing in our midst. C.S. Lewis wrote about this in the Screwtape Letters. In this book Satan’s character writes the following; “One of our great allies at present is the Church itself. Do not misunderstand me. I do not mean the Church as we see her spread out through all time and space and rooted in eternity, terrible as an army with banners. That I confess, is a spectacle which makes our boldest tempters uneasy. But fortunately, it is quite invisible to these humans.”
Therefore, we need to be aware of the ways Satan will tempt our church. There are four primary ways Satan tries to weaken the church. They are 1. Doubt, 2. Deception, 3. Discouragement, and 4. Division. Doubt is the oldest of Satan’s tactics. He uses it with Eve in the Garden of Eden. And Satan still sows doubt today. Sometimes it is doubting the Bible being true. Sometimes it is doubting God will have the power to do something. Sometimes it is more personal, causing us to doubt that God really loves us or is there for us. All of these are areas where Satan can use doubt. The next one is deception. Jesus himself called Satan a liar. And one of the ways Satan lies to us is he convinces us that we are OK the way we are. We are fine. We don’t really need
to change or repent. If you think you have being a Christian all figured out and together, you are being lied to.
The third attack is discouragement. Hebrews 10:24-25 says “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” This passage points out the importance of not just meeting together, but encouraging one another. The moment we think being “a bit down” is just normal, we are giving in to the devil’s old ways. That is why it is so important to be encouraged by God’s Word and each other. Lastly, one of the most dangerous attacks from Satan in the church is division. Satan loves to divide us over Bible interpretation, how to do the sacraments, politics, social issues, or even choosing the new color to paint the classrooms. Beware of division! Francis Fragipane wrote “If there ever was a false doctrine that was so widespread, so accepted in the body of Christ, yet so contrary to the heart and teachings of Christ, it is the tradition of division within the Church.”
So as we enter a transition to a new pastor, let’s remember that we enter it together. Will there be times Satan tempts us with doubt and deception and discouragement and possible division? Absolutely. I can almost guarantee we will see all four of these show up in the coming year. We must meet regularly together, pray regularly together, care for each other. And continually seek God’s power and direction. Take the time to pray this prayer that David Butts offers in his book:
“Lord, I know how much You love Your Church. Because of that great love, help us to wake up and begin to understand the schemes of the enemy against Your people. Give us insight into the spiritual attacks against the Bride of Christ. Show us how to pray in a way that sets the devil to flight and brings the overcoming power of Your victory into our congregation, amen.”
Blessings, Pastor Chris

Summer Curriculum
This summer, we will continue to look at the
warnings of the Old Testament prophets. They
warned God’s people to turn away from the evil
things they were doing, but they also preached
hope. One day, a Savior would come who would
make everything sad untrue. Jesus’ death and
resurrection were foretold hundreds of years
before he was born! Take a look at the following
story from the Jesus Storybook Bible, by Sally Lloyd-Jones in preparation for our Summer Curriculum:
Get Ready! (Nehemiah 8-10, Malachi 1, 3 and 4, Ezra 7)

As you know Pastor Mike’s last
Sunday with us will be June 16th.
After that he leaves for a well-
deserved break on the Jersey
Shore. You may be asking “then
what?” Well, our interim search
committee is working hard to find
an interim pastor to work with us.
It is reasonable to hope that we will
have an interim here by the Fall, if
not sooner. Until then? Well, here
is a short summary of the plan for
the summer. I will preach about as
often as I normally do. The other
Sundays we will have some guest
preachers. I have already lined up
quite a few good ones! Session and
members are being asked to take on
additional responsibilities such as
planning outdoor worship,
planning and teaching adult
Sunday school, all-church activities
like the Bees game, hosting outside
groups that use the building, and
some of the house keeping around
the building. This will allow me to
keep up with pastoral care, staff,
session, deacons, worship planning,
etc. All of the usual ministries of
our church in the summer will
continue. We will still have
community outreach at Ronald
McDonald House and St. Vincent’s
DePaul every month. We will still
have weekly prayer groups and
Bible studies. We will still have a
full-time child development center.
The Youth will go on their mission
trip July10-15th. VBS will be here
July 29th-August 2nd. We will
enjoy some additional outdoor
worship services. In short, First
Pres will continue to be a great
place to worship God and serve. If
you would like to help us through
the summer in any way, please let
me know. I need all the help I can
get. And I will continue to enjoy
being your associate pastor.
Looking forward to a great
summer!
Pastor Chris

A MESSAGE FROM THE SESSION
DEAR FRIENDS,
Summer brings exciting adventures
for many of us. As a church
community we are embarking on a
collective adventure as well. As we
say bon voyage to Pastor Mike, we
also say hello to the future. The
excitement of what lies ahead of us
is truly in the hands of the Lord as
He unfolds His path for our church.
In this period of pastoral transition
the Session will focus on a few
important roles, including the
following:
⬧ Help to fill roles in our church
community to ensure that the
ministries of First Pres continue
without stretching the staff too
thin.
⬧ Determine the makeup of the
Interim Pastoral Committee and
the Pastor Nominating
Committee (PNC).
⬧ Be the “listening group” for the
congregation to share feedback,
express concerns, and stay up to
date.
Pastor Chris will remain as the
constant and unwavering
Associate Pastor that she is and
has been, but some of her roles
and responsibilities will adjust in

Retirement Celebrations for Pastor Mike
Sunday June 9th: Celebrate 18 years with Pastor Mike. There will be a fellowship time between
services from 10-11 am. Pastor Mike will be offered recognition during the worship services. After the
11:00 am service we will celebrate at the church picnic. Location, Lindsay Garden Park at the top of M
Street. Please bring a dish to share. First Pres will provide burgers and hot dogs.
Sunday, June 16th: Pastor Mikes last Sunday worship and sermon at 1st Pres.
this transition. Refer to her
supplemental letter for some of
the ways that we need church
members to serve. The
nominating committee, co-
chaired by Christine Gibbs and
Craig Britter from Session, is
reaching out to members to
assist with these tasks, and if you
feel called to support, let us
know. There is always more
need for volunteers, and no
special skills are required!
The Interim Pastoral Committee,
chaired by Doug Gould, is
working quickly and efficiently to
move forward in the process of
accepting applications,
conducting interviews, and
assessing prospective applicants.
Session hopes to have an Interim
Pastor in place in the near future
and will keep the congregation
informed as this moves closer to
fruition.
After an Interim Pastor is in
place, our congregation will
participate in a review of who we
are and what is important to us as
a church community, led by the
Interim Pastor. After this study,
the Session will determine the
structure of the Pastoral
Nominating Committee, or PNC,
and the members of it are elected
by the congregation. The PNC
will conduct the search,
interviews, and assessment for
the permanent head Pastor, with
guidance from the Interim Pastor.
It is important to note that this
entire process typically takes 1 to
2 years, and we will be providing
more information and details as
we approach different stages.
Session is also the “listening
group” in our church community.
Anyone can ask questions, raise
concerns and offer suggestions to
any member of Session at any
time. If a member would like to
be heard formally by the Session,
submit a request to the Clerk of
Session, Elizabeth Duszak, via e-
mail at
There is A LOT to accomplish in
this transition period and Session
needs good ideas and extra hands
from our church family to ensure
the best possible outcome for our
church and ministries. There will
be many ways to contribute in
this transition for our church
community. Everyone who would
like, will have an opportunity to
be involved in some way. Until
we talk again soon, eat well, sleep
long and pray often.
Very Respectfully Yours,
Session Elders (Christine Gibbs,
Craig Britter, Doug Gould,
Elizabeth Duszak, Jan Nixon,
Kambiz, Pezeshki, Karla Miller,
Pete Silas, and Sarah Sherer)

TROOP 34 Troop 34 is maintaining its 103 years of Scouting activities while
chartered with First Presbyterian Church.
The 33 Scouts have been working hard on merit badge and rank
advancement. All the hard work will be recognized on May 29th, with
the year-end Court of Honor at Lindsey Garden.
Two Scouts are actively working on their Eagle Rank service projects.
One has been diligently leading groups in
filling sand bags to thwart the rising
waters of Emigration Creek. The other is
organizing a project to update fading
house numbers painted on the curbs of
houses in the Avenues, so that first
responders have an easier time finding
locations of those in need of help.
Other service projects have been Scouting
for Food, crewing an aid station at the Salt
Lake City Marathon, the
upcoming placement of
American flags on the grave
markers of veterans buried
at Salt Lake City cemetery,
and the annual Memory
Grove cleanup.
Our Troop prides itself on
regular adventurous trips
to the outdoors. In April, a
large contingent traveled to
Escalante to hike through
the picturesque slot canyons.
In May, another group braved the cool spring
weather on an overnight fishing trip to
Strawberry Reservoir. Summer trips are
always the highlight of the year and this year
is no exception. For the fourth year in a row,
a large group will be traveling to the council
camp in the High Uintas. And we are all excited for the return of the
highly regarded multi-day trip on the Adventuress, a 133-foot working
research schooner based in the Puget Sound. Lastly, we are preparing
for our first 12-day backpacking itinerary to Philmont Scout Ranch in
2020.
The Troop meets during the school year every Wednesday at 7:00 pm in
the Fellowship Hall of First Presbyterian.
All who are interested can contact Scoutmaster
Brian Bevin at [email protected].

Tuesday Men's Breakfast
We are currently meeting each Tuesday at
Gourmandise Bakery/Café located at 250 South 300
East from 7am to 8am. We
are currently general
discussions on books
furnished by Pastor Mike
from his large collection.
There's plenty of room for additional guys who
enjoy a good breakfast and Christian fellowship/
discussion. It's a great way to start your day.
Contact: Pastor Mike
Thursday's Men's Group Study:
The Men's Group Study currently
meets every Tuesday afternoon
from 6:30-8:00 PM in the
Library at FPC. We are currently
finishing our discussion of the
Gospel of John. If you are
interested in joining us, contact Chuck Britter or
just show up. We will be discontinuing this Group
Study for the summer and restarting in September
2019.
Men's Activities:
We are looking at conducting several activities this
year which may include a Celebrity Dinner in the
fall, our 2nd "Hitting The Mark" at a local gun range
is being planned for in late June or July, a canyon
barbeque will be held in August, and others time
permitting and availability of help in planning and
conducting the events. If you would like to help out
planning our Men's Ministry Program for 2019 and
we are looking for a few good men, Please contact
Chuck Britter at 801-631-1911.
Men's Retreat: Living In Freedom
The Men's Retreat will be is being rescheduled for
this fall. It will be held again at Big Canyon Ranch
Christian Retreat Center in Wanship, Utah. We are
waiting to hear back from BCR on either September
13, 14 & 15 or October 11, 12 & 13. We will be
sharing the camp with another men's group. This
meaning that we would share meal times but not
meetings or recreation activities. We would have
separate meeting sites at the camp. If anyone is
interested in helping with planning the retreat
activities, please contact Chuck Britter at 801-631-
1911 or email at [email protected].
Flower Bed Volunteers:
We are looking to sign-up volunteers to maintain
sections of our flowerbeds at FPC this coming
season. These sections will be
small portions of the
existing flowerbeds
around the church.
Larger beds will be
divided into sections
so that care time
would not become
excessive. Each
volunteer would be
responsible for the planting,
fertilizing, weeding and general care of the selected
flowerbed. Many of the flowerbeds are already
planted and would require only weeding, trimming
and fertilizing on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. If
you are interested, we will be having a short meeting
following the 11:00AM service on June 16th in the
office area conference room. Contact Chuck Britter
if you are interested in helping out at 801-631-1911
