The life of the Spirit is celebrated with great enthusiasm at First Church, with a variety of programs resourced by the Pastors and lay leaders.
WEDNESDAY EVENING PRAYER & COMMUNION
WEDNESDAYS | 5:15 PM | SANCTUARY
It can be hard to find space to listen for the voice of God. During this mid-week evening service, we invite you into a spiritual space for personal reflection and sacred music.
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
WEDNESDAYS | 9:30-10:15 AM | CHURCH LIBRARY
Join Pastor Craig and others from the First Church community as we pray for the life of our church and those in our congregation in need of prayer. All are welcome to attend no matter how much or how little experience you have in prayer.
GRIEFSHARE

Did you recently lose a loved one?GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk along side you through one of life's most difficult experiences. This class is built on videos with experts talking about the grief journey followed by discussion. Contact Pastor Ken Licht 619-297-4366 ext. 111 or

CHRISTIAN MEDITATION GROUP
MONDAYS | 6 PM | TROTTER CHAPEL
We start by listening to a different meditation, followed by 20 minutes of silence. We continue by reading a scripture or a short poem. We listen to some music to close the session. For more information, call the church office at 619-297-4366.
THE LABYRINTH
An ancient aid to Christian meditation in it's simplest form - a pathway where you can experience a "walking prayer." We have at First Church two labyrinths: a cloth replica of the medieval Chartres labyrinth, used for special occasions, and an outside labyrinth located at the south west corner of the Music Center buildings, available for groups or individuals to walk any day of the week.
PILGRIMAGES
Pilgrimages are travel expeditions, led seasonally by Pastor Craig Brown, to Britain, the Holy Land and other locations.
