Contemplative Prayer Book Study

Join Tim Reed and David Cho for a 4-week book study of Thomas Merton’s Contemplative Prayer! Each meeting will cover about one quarter of the book (it’s about 100 pages long, so have no fear!).

Meetings will take place on Zoom at 7p on Thursday October 20, October 27, November 3, and November 17. To RSVP, email or call the Church Office (fcc@fccpomona.org; 909-622-1144).

“What I Learned at National Training”

National Training is where leaders of ICON and other sister organizations go to learn the practices of building community through organizing. MJ Neault was sponsored by our congregation to attend this last summer in order to assist the pastors and Core Team in our efforts to build community within the church, with other member institutions of ICON, and among the community at large.

Ms. Neault will lead three brief sessions on relational practices used in organizing after worship on Sunday, November 6, 20, and 27.  This will be an opportunity for us to also engage in the practices with each other, like talking to one another and learning each other’s stories. We may do these things informally, but the conversations in which MJ will guide us will be more intentional, with a purpose and possibility of a next step. Each session will last approximately 20 minutes. Light refreshments will be served.

Please RSVP by calling or emailing the Church Office (909-622-1144; fcc@fccpomona.org).

Hanging of the Greens

Join us in “decking the halls” as we transform the sanctuary for the Advent and Christmas seasons! These tasks usually take an hour. There will be opportunities to help for people of allages, including miniature Gingerbread Houses to assemble and decorate. If you plan to decorate a mini-house, please call or email the Church Office to RSVP (909-622-1144; fcc@fccpomona.org).

For those who want to stay for a time of fellowship afterwards, please bring a food item, savory or sweet, to share that does not require utensils to consume.
