FCC Sonoma is excited to offer many ways to be together in Christian love. Our Sunday gatherings are held at 9:30 a.m. for Meditation in the Redwood Grove and at 10:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary for our regular service. Details for the current Sunday's services can be found by clicking the "This Week" tab located at the top of this page. Our Earth Care Team offers monthly learning opportunities and spiritual walks, our Social Action Team organizes outreach activities. We enjoy being together to pursue new ideas and grow spiritually, to seek justice and serve those in need, and to advocate for the care of the earth.

⇨ Note: Church Office Hours Summer Schedule ⇦
Summer Office Hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 9am - Noon.
We laugh freely and rejoice in the wonder of God’s love and care, while investing our energy, our courage, and our creativity in building a world of justice and equal opportunity for all.
We affirm our high calling to care for all creation and to seek justice for the oppressed, ever-conscious of the socioeconomic dimensions of climate change and ecological disruption and its effects on global inequality.
We are spiritual seekers who embrace Jesus’ message of love and compassion, and often find ourselves more comfortable with questions than answers. We value science, culture, and the wisdom of other religious traditions.
In the spirit of love, we welcome people of every age, economic status, ethnicity, physical ability, nationality, race, religious background, and sexual orientation to participate fully in all aspects of our church’s life and ministry.
The vision I have for our congregation is to be the church people would go to if they went to church. I want visitors to walk through the sanctuary doors and feel the authenticity from the moment they enter to the moment they leave. It is my experience over this past decade of service that the love this congregation has to share is palpable and trustworthy. We are a group of faithful seekers who wrestle together with some of life’s most important questions. We are the church of justice and joy, embodying God’s invitation to practice radical abundance.
Each week, on Sundays and throughout the week, we practice our faith in God and our indomitable hope that what we do can and does have an impact on the world around us. We at First Congregational Church Sonoma are committed to our neighbors and community. It is our vision that each one of us, in small and larger ways, is a living prayer and champion for right action in our beautiful and hurting world.
We hope you will come and see us soon.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew 6:21
Beloved Community,
Our theme for Stewardship has been about where and in what we invest our time and talents. Jacob Mickow led the Stewardship campaign this year and he has done so with style and joy. Thank you, Jacob. We were blessed to hear remarks about why stewardship matters from both Jacob and Gary Richards. In his wisdom, Gary mentioned legacy giving. If this is something you have thought about but perhaps still have questions, Kim Pack will be happy to talk with you.
By now you will have put your pledges into the tiny cardboard church on wheels created many moons ago by our dear Veda Lewis. No matter the size of your pledge, your participation gives me great hope in the future of our congregation. Thank you for your prayerful discernment and financial promises.
As we move forward from last week’s election results, The work remains the same as it ever was; “to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.”( Micah 6:8)
For inspiration I am sharing a link to a prayer from this year’s NCNC, UCC annual gathering as it reminds us to look past the news flurry to what matters most to the heart of God.
Walk gently dear ones,
Curran
