In a show of appreciation and thankfulness, the Escalon Pentecostal Tabernacle on First Street recently opened its doors – and hearts – to members of the Escalon Police Department for a special luncheon. The gathering, said Rev. Wayne Warren, was designed to let police officers, police department support personnel, their families, and city officials, know that they are appreciated for their efforts. Warren said the idea actually grew out of a trip he and his wife took late last year, traveling to New York City for their 36th wedding anniversary.
