At this time we are encouraging the use of masks and face coverings indoors, regardless of vaccination status, in an effort to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19 and its variants.

If gathering in-person isn't right for you at this time, we invite you to stay connected via our online options. Our sermon podcasts are available for you to listen anytime you'd like on our website, www.sdfcnaz.com. This week's recording will be available by 10am on Sunday morning.

Worship Services Feedback Survey
Over the past few months (from Sept. 5-Nov. 14, 2021), SDFC has been conducting a worship services "experiment", characterized primarily by the shift to hosting two distinct worship services (Classic & Contemporary) at the same time, 10:30am.

We hope you will be willing to provide feedback about your experiences engaging with the life of the church for the duration of this experiment, which will assist your church board & staff in making plans for 2022 and beyond. Thank you!
