We are excited to announce that Pastor Bill Wessner and his wife, Susan are returning to Cross and Crown as our permanent pastor. Pastor Bill was here 2016 through 2019 as our interim pastor. Please join us his first Sunday, August 28 for this new chapter in our church. Pastor Bill wrote: Susan and I moved to California in 2014 to be near our children and grandchildren. We have many years of church experience behind us as Deacon and Pastor serving congregations in Illinois and Ohio. Our Sierra Pacific Synod called on me to serve the Gospel as an Interim Pastor in Petaluma, followed by the same, here at Cross and Crown in Rohnert Park, then in Santa Rosa and most recently Sacramento. It is with great joy that I return to Cross and Crown as the "Called" Pastor. Thank you Cross and Crown Lutheran Church and School for this new and familiar work. How very exciting it is to be with you all again. Together we, will continue to explore ways to "Make the Love of Christ Known" in church and school, the community, our Synod, our ELCA, and all of God's world. Come and see! Peace, Pastor Bill |
