The Greatest Form of Love
Worship Mar 23, 8:30 & 11am
Pastor Andrew digs into Jesus’ new commandment that challenges our understanding and role in the world. What is our role in loving those who feel unloved, cast out and marginalized? What are concrete ways that God’s transformational love is being lived out in our world? John 15:9-14 will help us. Join us at 8:30 in Pope Hall or at 11:00 in the sanctuary or via livestream.

A Journey Through Lent
Children & Youth, Mar 23, 8:30 & 11am
Throughout his journey to Jerusalem, Jesus has been teaching about the Kingdom of God. As we read Luke 13:1-9, we encounter the fig tree parable and we find an image of God’s patience and hopefulness as he prepares his Kingdom. After receiving a blessing in the worship services, the children and youth leave to continue their Journey Through Lent.
Service for Creation Care
Celtic EvenSong, Mar 19, 5:30pm
God calls all humanity to care for creation and all that is in it. Throughout the ages we have not paid enough attention to cherishing all animals and plants and rivers and trees, but with Climate Change upon us it is imperative we do. In this service, in prayer and song, we do. Join us in the sanctuary or on Zoom.
Acting to End Hunger
Mission Project Response
During this Lenten season, Bread for the World has organized an offering of letters for people to support programs to end hunger—to invite all to come to the table. We are so thankful that our church has had an overwhelming response with 165 letters written to our senators and House members in support of programs that fund childhood hunger needs.

Living the Lord’s Prayer
Retreat, Ghost Ranch, Aug 15-17
San Williams invites members and friends of First Presbyterian Church to join him at Ghost Ranch this summer, August 15-17, for a retreat centered on the Lord’s Prayer. This prayer that Jesus taught his disciples invites us into the heart of Jesus’ life and teaching, and it empowers us to live joyfully—and hopefully—in these chaotic and fraught times.
Rare in These Days
Worship, Mar 16
VIDEO. The word of God was rare in the days of Samuel. Visions were not widespread. How do we discern God’s call today? Pastor Harry looks at I Samuel 3:1-14 to explore this thought. View the video of our 11:00 service and Pastor Harry’s message.
