This also can be an opportunity to invite friends. Come join us in this time of singing, scripture, and prayer!

Great Thanksgiving Banquet Food Drive
Each year we join with other Sonoma County churches in providing food for Redwood Gospel Mission’s (RGM) Great Thanksgiving Banquet.
An estimated 600 families will be served on November 24th using procedures modified to comply with Covid restrictions. In years past we have filled grocery bags with food items to provide a family meal. This year, like last year, RGM has asked each church to provide specific quantities of items that will be assembled into the final bags. This year First Presbyterian is providing three items: packets of gravy, canned sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pies. Rather than each of us bringing these items to the church, the Community Service Team will secure the items and arrange for their delivery to RGM. After all, pumpkin pies require special care and transport.
We invite you to participate by sending a financial contribution of $11.00 per family (or multiples of 11 for more than one family) by Monday, November 22. Make the check payable to First Presbyterian Church and in the memo line write: “Community Service - RGM Thanksgiving.” If you prefer to pay online, go to our Online Giving page and choose Community Service.

Owl Prowl Rescheduled - NEW DATE!

Meet in the church parking lot at 4:30 PM.
 Join us in pursuit of the hoot on a quiet night walk led by Scott Campbell to learn more about these fascinating creatures. This evening experience will include fun facts that focus on the Great Horned and Barn Owls along with fun activities in “Hoot Owl Hollow.”
We will leave the church at 5:00 PM and carpool to Hands Full Farm In Sebastopol. Maps will be provided. Bring a flashlight, a water bottle, warm clothes, and your sense of adventure!
You are welcome to come early and meet in the Presbyterian Preschool playground, from 3:30-4:30, to visit “Hoot Owl Hollow” (created by our own Nina Campbell, a teacher at Presbyterian Pre-School), enjoy some refreshments, get to know others, & hear a short talk about the owls we are hoping to see! This is a great opportunity for parents to ponder and play with their children.
Our guides for the event are Janeann Erickson (Hands Full Farm) and Scott Campbell, former leaders of the Madrone Audubon Society and have volunteered in Sonoma County Schools.
