We would love to see you. Below you will find our worship, educational, and other activities coming up this Sunday.
On Good Shepherds and THE Good Shepherd
Worship, Mar 15, 8:30 & 11am
This Sunday, as we commission FPC Santa Fe’s Pastor Nominating Committee, we’ll consider the characteristics of good shepherds versus bad shepherds as well as our own responsibility as “sheep” to listen for, discern, and follow the voice of THE Good Shepherd. The scriptures for the day are Ezekiel 34:1-10 and John 10:1-18. Join Pastor Ashley at 8:30 in Pope Hall and at 11:00 in the sanctuary or via livestream.
Invitation to a Blessed Life
Adult Ed, Sundays, Mar 1-22
We often hear people say, “Have a blessed day,” but what does it mean to be blessed? In our Lenten adult ed series, the Rev. San Williams leads us through the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-11), which offer a life that is blessed in the truest, most satisfying sense. The Beatitudes do not present an easy path, but one that sets free the life of Christ within us.
Jesus Heals a Blind Man
Children & Youth, Mar 15, 8:30 & 11am
This week in Children’s Sunday School, we will explore the story of Jesus heals a man born blind and discover how Jesus Christ brings light and hope into people’s lives. The children will hear how Jesus healed a man who had never been able to see, reminding us that God cares deeply for everyone and can help us see the world—and each other—with love and compassion.
Join a Sandwich Team
Help Needed, Sundays
Bievenidos, a food pantry our church has long supported, is experiencing a 40% increase in demand in the lunch bags that they hand out each week. To help them meet the need for 1,500 sandwiches, our church has committed to providing 250-300 sandwiches each Monday. We need your help making sandwiches on Sundays.
Support Children’s Education
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.
Food Drive
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.
Bottle Caps to Benches
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.
Baby Hygiene Supplies Needed
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.
