Pastor' Appreciation Month
October is Pastor's Appreciation Month...
 
The past two and a half years have been an incredibly challenging and uncertain time in the life of our church. Many extra responsibilities and unknowns have been encountered by our church staff. Please take your time this month to share your thanks for all our pastoral staff has done to oversee our return to in-person worship, rebuilding of church ministries and programming, and more!
 
Cards and notes of appreciation are encouraged. They may be sent to the church address:
3901 Lomaland Drive
San Diego, CA 92106

Or directly to our pastors' email addresses:
Thank you for your participation!

Sincerely,
Your Church Board

Over many years, Wil poured his life into people and  ministry in the church and university, serving as a pastor, District Superintendent, and chairman of the PLNU Board of Trustees. He has many ties with the people at SDFC and his uncle, Alpin Bowes, was one of our first pastors. 

Wil's memorial service is scheduled for 10:30am tomorrow, Saturday, October 15, at Crossroads Church of the Nazarene in Chandler, AZ.
