We would love to see you. Below you will find our worship, educational, and other activities coming up this Sunday.
The Hearts of Children Aching for Home
Worship, May 31, 8:30 & 11am
Rev. Jim Brown’s sermon this Sunday will focus on “The Hearts of Children Aching for Home” (from Prayer of the Children a hauntingly beautiful choral work by Kurt Bestor). We will hear about Melissa seen here in her doctor’s arms in Bethlehem, now thriving after 5 months of loving care. And our choir will sing the choral piece.
Pride Is About Finding and Making Community
Adult Ed, Begins May 31, 9:45am
This Sunday Tony Arnold presents the second class in a three part series to help us understand Pride and our LGBTQIA+ siblings. This class looks at the real (and often unmet) need for a truly inclusive community and how our church can be more welcoming, inclusive, and empowering.
Children & Youth Program
Sunday Mornings
Each Sunday our children and youth are engaged with activities on their levels that help them learn about God and that frequently mirror the message of our Sunday service. The children and youth begin in our worship service(s), and after receiving a blessing, they leave for their activities.
Gifted with the Spirit, Gifted by the Spirit
Worship, May 24, 8:30 & 11am
VIDEO. This Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Ashley leads us to look at what it means to us as individuals and as the body of Christ to be gifted with the Spirit and to bring our gifts to the work we feel called to do in the world. The scriptures for the day are: Acts 2:1-21 and 1 Corinthians 12:1-13.
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.
Baby Hygiene Supplies Needed
Donation Box in Lobby
The Las Cumbres Welcome Center in Santa Fe is in need of infant and toddler diapers and baby wipes 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.
