FPC in Action

This past week Pastor Andrew (with the help of daughter Brooke) organized a film crew to interview US Senator Heinrich, Pueblo Governors, the Santa Fe Mayor and County Commissioners as well as community leaders. As a faith leader leading the coalition to protect the Caja and part of EarthKeepers 360, Andrew was interviewed about the spiritual, cultural and historical values of the Caja and why it is worthy of protection.

Worship, Mar 8, 8:30 &11am

Just how inclusive and expansive is God’s mercy and mission? This Sunday, Pastor Ashley will explore with us what a Canaanite woman’s “disruptive” encounter with Jesus and faithful persistence on behalf of her suffering daughter reveals about the expansive and transformative nature of God’s mercy and mission.

Worship, March 11, 5:30pm

In troubled times, we must speak out. And hear the truth. We are not alone. God makes sure we have each other. Join the Rev. Tom Ulrich of the Presbytery of Santa Fe to hear how we can find hope, do justice, love tenderly, and walk humbly together. The service will be held in our sanctuary and via livestream.

Children & Youth, Mar 8, 8:30 & 11am

This week in Children’s Sunday School, our children will explore the story of the woman at the well (John 4: 5-34). In this story, Jesus speaks with a woman others often avoided and offers her “living water” — a symbol of God’s love that refreshes our hearts and never runs dry.

Mar 13, 5:30-8:00pm

Children will enjoy a fun, safe evening of Valentine themed activities while parents take time to reconnect, rest, or enjoy a quiet night out together. Whether it’s dinner, conversation, or simply time to breathe, we hope this evening offers a gift of renewal and care.

Circle of Friends, Mar 14, 10am

In March, the Circle of Friends starts its next book, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion. The author, Father Gregory Boyle, presents an awe-inspiring series of parables about universal kinship and redemption distilled from his 20 years of running a gang-intervention program in Los Angeles.

Worship, Mar 1, 10am

VIDEO. This Sunday, as we look at Jesus’ Sermon on the Plain in Luke’s Gospel, Pastor Ashley has us consider anew the radical love Jesus calls us to exercise as well as Jesus’ “upside-down” blessings for the “upside-down” kin(g)dom of God that Jesus continually invites us to live into.

Caja del Rio, April 5th, 6:00am

We are in need of volunteers to help with our Easter Sunrise Service on the Caja del Rio. Come join as a volunteer to help make this beautiful and unique service a reality again this year. Contact Pastor Andrew to volunteer at andrew@fpcsantafe.org.

Donation Box in Lobby

The Santa Fe Faith Coalition is coordinating donations for two organizations that support children’s education, which includes many immigrant children: SF Public Schools’ Adelante Program and Reading Quest. See their list of needs and drop off whatever you can donate in the box in the church lobby.

We need Welcome Desk volunteers during the week and greeters on Sunday mornings. The Welcome Desk needs help Monday through Friday from 10am to 4pm and Sundays we need greeters before our worship services.

Donation Box in Lobby

Bienvenidos distributes food boxes of nonperishable food items augmented by produce purchased from local farmers. The demand for these boxes is still high. Collection boxes are in our lobby, and any nonperishable item (canned goods, pasta, oatmeal, cereals) that you would like to contribute can be deposited there.

Recycling Collection Project

This summer we helped the Santa Fe Rotary Club collect enough plastic bottle caps to create two beautiful park benches for Tierra Nueva Counseling Center. With such great success, we are bringing back the bottle cap drive and this time we will be providing new park benches to counseling centers in Los Alamos.

Donation Box in Lobby

The Las Cumbres Welcome Center in Santa Fe is in need of infant and toddler diapers, baby wipes and all ages hygiene supplies (shampoo, soap, deodorant, etc.) for their Immigrant and refugee services. First Presbyterian, as a member of the Faith Coalition, is participating in this diaper baby hygiene drive. A donation box is available in the lobby.
