FPC COVID Guidelines and Protocols

Submitted by Hector Constantzos on

As of July 1, 2023, FPC moved to a mask-optional policy throughout the church. We continue to center our policy around care for our community and each other.

 

To that end, we are designating a portion of the sanctuary to be masks-required, while the rest of the sanctuary and the church will be mask-optional. If you wish to sit in the masks-required section, it will be marked off. It will consist of the back right corner of the sanctuary, as you face the pulpit. In the image below, it is denoted by the two red rectangles.  This space was chosen... Read more

Rev. Cindy

On Sunday, May 20th, FPC held a special meeting to vote on calling the Rev.

Background

For more than 15 years, our FPC community has stepped up to buy gifts for children, women and men who are fleeing domestic violence.

When Diane... Read more

Black Lives Matter at FPC

Submitted by jstadolnik on

In January of 2016, the congregation voted (5th principle) to hang a banner showing our support for the Black Lives Matter movement, and here’s why.

First, it is not representing any organization, but a movement. This movement promotes the idea that all lives SHOULD matter equally, whether black, blue, brown, white, asian, or any other race. However, they do not. The lives of people of color, and black people especially, are constantly valued less than a white person's life, through constant economical,... Read more
