First Presbyterian Church of Petaluma 1883-2008
One hundred, twenty-five years ago, forty-five Christians joined together and formed First Presbyterian Church, here in Petaluma.
This year, we are planning several events to celebrate God’s faithfulness through the years, through faithful men and women. The first will be April 20, when we will talk about our history in our morning worship services and an Evening Dessert Kick-off. The following weekend, FPCP will have an entry in  Petaluma’s Butter and Egg Day Parade (April 26). I hope you will join us for these events. The culmination of our celebration will be July 6, when we will worship on the lawn with former pastors and families. Former members will be invited to join us.
You may want to help us with the planning. Our Anniversary Celebration Team is headed by Cindy Newsom and Keith Lew, who would love to have your help. In addition, if you have any pictures of the church in action in days gone by, we would love to borrow them so we can make copies. Also, we would love to see bulletins, newsletters, hymnbooks, sermon tapes or other artifacts from FPCP’s past days.
Our hope throughout is that as we celebrate God’s faithfulness in the past, we will grow in confidence that God will provide in our future. “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good (past); His love endures forever (future). Psalm 136:1.
Here are some of the Key Celebration Events:
