I was received as a member at First Presbyterian Church of Petaluma this Sunday (Jan. 23rd). As I mentioned in my Introduction, I chose First Presbyterian as a home church while I continue on my journey to visit all the churches in Petaluma.
As I will be attending First Presbyterian in the future, I will write more about this church in upcoming posts. One item I will briefly mention in this post is that they have been in Petaluma for 127 years, since 1883 (it will be 128 years sometime this year in 2011, but I am not sure of the exact date).
It felt good to become a member of First Presbyterian. It has been a while since I was formally a member of a church. The members of the congregation were very welcoming. My lovely wife, Lori, and my good friend, James Crowell, came out to see me accepted as a member, which made it special.
The pastor, Rev. Dave Weidlich, delivered a sermon on leadership, since the church was accepting new elders and deacons.
(I later wrote about their pastor, their local history, and their church government.)
