Come join us for an afternoon of spreading holiday cheer by singing some of your favorite Christmas songs! This all-ages event will feature heartwarming classic carols and the stories that make these songs so well-loved.
Service Project:
Support our mission partner Interfaith Community Services by assembling 100 toiletry bags.
Join us at the San Diego Rescue Mission to serve our unsheltered neighbors a hot Christmas dinner. We want to bless those living on the streets with warm food, handy giveaways, and the love of Christ. This is a great opportunity to give back to the community during the holiday season.

Luminaria Prep Party
Saturday, December 23
9:00 - 10:00 AM
Can you pour sand into a paper bag? If so, join the Luminaria Making Party to help make the 2000 luminarias that will grace our church campus on Christmas Eve. These small fires recall the Las Posadas tradition of lighting the way for the Holy Family to find its way to the Stable. There will be pastries and hot drinks to share.
Every fifth Sunday, we encourage special offerings for the Deacons Benevolence Fund that help people experiencing financial distress.
Please designate checks and online giving to the "Deacon Fund"
Please give generously and also pray generously for those needing help
Christmas Joy Offering
Sunday, December 17
The Christmas Joy Offering has been a cherished Presbyterian tradition since the 1930s. It supports both the Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions and Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color.
The program provides critical financial support to church workers and their families. Presbyterian-related schools and colleges provide education and leadership development while nurturing racial and ethnic heritage.
How to Follow Jesus for Life
Sundays starting January 21
11:45 AM - 1:15 PM
Start out the new year by joining a pastor-led 6-week study to learn more about how to “Follow Jesus for Life.” Sessions will be held January 21 through February 28 with lunch served.
This class is suited to seasoned believers as well as those new to the faith – and everyone in between. If interested, please register online.
The purpose of the Alternative Christmas Market is to provide people with the opportunity to give gifts that will bring the true joy of Christmas to the giver, the recipient, and those who are in need. Give online to support our mission partners.
“We the Church” is the motto of our special season of reflection and then commitment regarding how we individually support the life of our community of faith.
Since God has given us everything that we have, it is important that we give back to God from everything that he has given. This balance in our giving is necessary so that the whole life of the church will thrive.
If you’ve not yet returned your pledge card to the church, please do so at your earliest convenience.
