South Whidbey Community Church will hold a special Veteran’s Day Appreciation Service at 10 a.m. Sunday at the Deer Lagoon Grange.

There will be special music by the “Choralaires”, from Calvin Presbyterian Church in Shoreline, and a special message by Pastor/American Legion Chaplain Darrell Wenzek.

Immediately following worship, join the congregation as it reconvenes at the American Legion Hall at 11:45 a.m. for a special Veteran’s Appreciation Celebration, honoring all active and former members of all branches of the armed services.

There will be a United States Marine Color Guard, and a special performance by the “Choralaires.” A buffet lunch provided by SWCC and the American Legion Women’s Auxiliary will be served following this ceremony.

All veterans and the public are cordially invited to both Deer Lagoon Grange, and then the American Legion Hall.
