Our church actively sponsors and supports activities that provide aid to fight against hunger and homelessness, support health care and education, speak out for vulnerable populations, and advocate for policies that align with our faith. Upcoming and recent activities are shown below. We hope you can join us in these efforts.
Service of Justice, Hope, and Faithfulness
Worship, Wed, Oct 14, 6pm
On Wednesday, October 14th at 6pm FPC will host a Service of Justice, Hope, and Faithfulness to address the political realities in our nation. As our country faces threats to our democracy, ongoing environmental challenges, global conflicts, and growing pressures on election integrity, Rev Tom Ulrich leads us in this act of solidarity that promotes the common good for all humanity.
World Communion Sunday
PC(USA) Special Offering, Oct 4
On World Communion Sunday all of God’s people gather around the Table to celebrate the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Part of the atonement that happens around this Table is reconciliation, which is the focus of the World Communion Offering. Special envelopes will be in the pews on Sunday. Please give generously. When we all do a little, it adds up to a lot.
Working with Wisdom
Workshop, Sat morning, Sep 26
As disciples of Christ, we want to help our neighbors. But do we truly understand who they are? Do we know what our own blind spots are when it comes to doing this work? The Rev. Dr. Amantha Barbee helps us answer these questions in her upcoming workshop. Join us in Pope Hall Saturday morning, September 26th for a close look at these issues.
Queer Theology Study & Meditation
Zoom, Tues, Sep 15–Oct 20, 5:30-7:30pm
Join a diverse group this fall in an FPC six-week series that explores queer theology, which is a way of understanding God and our relationship with God through the lens of God’s radically inclusive love. Deacon Tony Arnold leads the exploration of concepts, and Spiritual Director Jeannie Bowman leads guided meditations.
Welcoming Rev. Dr. Barbee
Save the dates, Sep 26 & 27
We are delighted to announce that the Rev. Dr. Amantha Barbee will be returning to our church on Saturday, September 26th, to lead a workshop and on Sunday, September 27th, to preach. And of course, we imposed upon her to sing, which she will do at the 11am service. Her theme for the workshop and sermon are “Working with Wisdom.”
Immigrant Accompaniment Program
Volunteer Now
Our immigrant neighbors are increasingly afraid, and you can help in a very real way. The Faith Coalition asks you to consider volunteering with Las Cumbres to walk alongside them. Volunteers receive orientation, training, supervision, and debriefing. Your presence through accompaniment says: “This person is seen. This person matters. The community is watching.”
Fundraiser for Faith Coalition
Sep 11, 6-9:30pm, Tumbleroot Brewery
Support our immigrant siblings and have a great time at Tumbleroot Brewery listening to the Latin band Nosotros. This fundraiser is sponsored by the Santa Fe Faith Coalition, of which our church is a member, and Indivisibles of Santa Fe. Tickets start at $10 but please give generously. Proceeds provide emergency support for immigrant families.
Presbyterian Principles and Political Action
Zoom, August 26, 1pm
VIDEO TO COME. Gather online for this 75-minute Zoom with other Presbyterians across the country to explore how our Christian faith calls us to wrestle with current issues. Why we are called to be active participants in the public square? And how we can do so in our own communities?
Addressing Hunger, One Sandwich at a Time
Sandwich Brigade, Pope Hall, Each Sunday
Food insecurity is high in Santa Fe. To meet the current need, Bienvenidos Outreach is now open seven days a week, providing sandwiches to the unhoused, day workers, individuals and families facing food insecurity. Our church provides over 300 sandwiches each week to help in this effort. You can help.
