First Congregational Church of San Rafael

"Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy?" Isaiah 55:2. This Sunday, Pastor Sally will reflect on the very real experience of soul hunger and the ways it can (and cannot) be satisfied. As an extra treat, one of our companions, Charles Little, will share his experience of meditation and how it has touched his soul. If your heart is longing for something more, something deeper, join us for worship at 10 am.

There will be a Candlelight Vigil tonight at the Islamic Center of Mill Valley at 6 pm.

March 17 Sermon: "The Inner Sanctuary" Psalm 27 is described as a Triumphant Song of Confidence and so it is. It was clearly written by someone whose life was firmly anchored in their relationship with God. We have much to learn... from it. The writer asks to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life We each carry within us an inner sanctuary where we are safe and can commune with God. We will take a few moments to find our way into that sanctuary and sit with the Holy One.

God, in your mercy, hear our prayer:

This Sunday, March 10 we will turn our attention to the power of faith. We will read Romans 10: 8-15 in which Paul speaks of the word that is near you - "on your lips and in your heart." Pastor Sally will reflect on the way faith sustains us and strengthens us. We will remember with gratitude those shining spirits who nurtured our faith and helped us grow. We will think about ways we can, in turn, be a light to others. Join us at 10 AM.
