First Presbyterian Church of San Anselmo

This Sunday's sermon podcast is posted and available for listening. Stories about bread take us deep into the heart of the most basic human need. And we find God there. In the bread we break, the Risen Christ makes us bread for the world.

Please feel free to join us in the prayers prayed in worship April 25, 2021. And please know that you are welcome to join us in worship -- on Zoom or in-person -- each Sunday at 10am PDT. All are welcome!

In this Sunday's sermon, we considered stories of sharing broiled fish and cinnamon toast: Resurrection is an everyday, embodied experience of the Risen Christ embodied in us. Witnesses are those who see and go out and live what they have learned and loved, for the blessing of the whole world. You can read the full sermon here.

This Sunday's sermon podcast is now posted and available for listening. Even in the midst of a troublous world, standing in the unshakeoffable love of Jesus Christ, we affirm: "The world is full of wonderful things."

This Sunday's sermon by Rev. Dr. Aimee Moiso is posted and available for listening. In this week's gospel text, the Pharisees and Herodians try to trap Jesus with a question about paying taxes to the Emperor. Jesus surprises us with a life-giving both/and when we’re preparing for an artificial yes or no. We follow One who sees the trap coming, unmasks the hypocrisy, and still sends the questioners away with new things to think about. The Resurrected One has the power to turn our traps and tricks into astonishment and newness.

This Sunday's sermon podcast is posted and available for listening. In an election year, we stand at the intersection of faith and public life, and consider the danger of tyranny and systemic racism, the promise of the right to vote, efforts to suppress that right, and our power to make a difference. In God’s sovereignty, God honors our agency to choose, inviting and empowering us to participate in God’s re-making of the world.

Looking forward to preaching and worshipping today in the expanded community of First Pres San Anselmo (10am PDT via Zoom). In this election season, we'll be t...urning to 1 Samuel 8, where the people ask God for a king. The title of the sermon is "What Kings Do -- and Why Every Vote Matters." We'll consider the human tendency to tyranny, the power of the promised right to vote, and the tenacious efforts toward voter suppression (yet another embodiment of systemic racism) -- and we will look in this text for a word of agency and a word of ultimacy. Please know that you're welcome to join us -- Zoom link is on the church's website (10am PDT). All are welcome!!! See more
