Annual Stewardship Campaign
A web of connectedness - How might you support our church in 2022?
Thank you for your generosity! As stewards, we focus on using all our gifts and resources wisely and responsibly. As we emerge from these difficult times, we are grateful
for our web of connectedness that has carried us through and look forward to continuing
to thrive together.
Please join us in pledging your support for FPCSR. Pledges are due back to the church office or online by November 17. Pledge Dedication Sunday is November 21.
Our priorities and goals for 2021 - 2022 to interconnect with each other and the broader community are:
-
Deepen our engagement and relationships with members and friends. Maintain quality programs for the congregation & our neighbors.
-
Commit ourselves to children and families (San Pedro afterschool, childcare space rental and Sunday Godly Play).
-
Create experimental worship services & programs that meet congregation and community needs. Find new ways to engage millennials. Expand our unique contemplative spirituality ministry.
-
Think of new ways to communicate the good news of what is happening in our church.

ABOUT OUR CHURCH
Founded in 1869, First Presbyterian Church is centrally located at 5th and E in downtown San Rafael in Marin County. Since the early 1890’s, FPCSR has been active in social justice issues such as integration and advocacy for our immigrant populations, affordable housing and homelessness; we are a founding member of the REST emergency shelter. In recent years, we have launched service programs for disadvantaged children and youth.
SUNDAY
At FPCSR, we offer a variety of worship opportunities including an 8:30 am Contemplative Service and a 10:00 am Lively Traditional Service each Sunday, and on the third Sunday of each month there is 5:00 pm SoulSong, Taizé Candlelight Healing Service.
We encourage people to engage in spiritual formation for it is in receiving the creative love of God that we are empowered to share that love with others. We come together as a community of faith in worship on Sundays, and many of us meditate during the week.
