Dr. Hayden is guest at F.H. Presbyterian
Dr. Paul Hayden, former pastor of Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church, returns July 27, 10 a.m., to deliver the sermon as guest preacher.

This summer is the 20th anniversary of the dedication of the current Presbyterian Church building. This is an important milestone leading up the Presbyterian Church’s 150th anniversary on San Juan Island, to be celebrated in 2010.

It is very fitting that the congregation welcomes back to its pulpit Dr. Paul Hayden, who was the pastor of Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church 20 years ago during a time of spiritual and physical up-building for the congregation,” current Pastor Joe Bettridge said.

“Paul has many friends on San Juan Island. The congregation is looking forward to a day of reunion and encouragement in God’s Word as Paul shares with (me) in leading worship on Sunday, July 27.”
