Saying Goodbye to Pastor Chris and John

It was a beautiful and bittersweet Sunday as we said goodbye to the Rev.Dr. Christine Chakoian and her husband, John.

Together we honored Pastor Chris' service to WPC over the past 7 years and gave her a proper send-off complete with a joy-filled worship service, community fellowship, encouragement and words of tribute for Chris and John, Armenian treats, and of course...cake! Thank you all the amazing volunteers and staff that made Sunday's Reception so beautiful. And thank you for the incredible work of Pastor Chris and John. Enjoy retirement!
