First Mennonite Church of San Francisco

First Mennonite Church of San Francisco FMCSF is a welcoming, worshipping, Anabaptist community that practices peace and justice, serves others, and joyfully walks in the way of Jesus.

First Mennonite Church of San Francisco is an Anabaptist community committed to joyfully walking in the way of Jesus in community with each other. For us that means being a welcoming, worshipping community; practicing peace and justice; and living a life of service to others. We also like to eat good food and laugh a lot - and figure that's part of following Jesus, too.

"So I want to talk today about what I believe Jesus might actually mean by "Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.” It probably doesn't surprise you to hear that I think that it is not an invitation to self-erasure but an invitation to something more radical, and more life-giving, than that."

Matthew 10:34–39 This passage and I have history. Who else has history with this passage? I was talking to Sarah Augustine about this passage, which she recently preached on, and she told me how much she loved this passage and always has. I told her my journey with this passage has been much more ...

"Rohr says that if God creates in God's own image, there must be a family resemblance between the Trinity and everything else. So this constant give and take we see within creation and the cosmos, this constant flow, this constant connectedness, this isn’t a metaphor for God, this is the shape of what is. This is reality."

Trinity Sunday Matthew 28:16-20 Jesus and his disciples were sitting around, and he asked them, as he liked to do: “Whom do people say that I am?” And his disciples answered, “Some say you are John the Baptist returned from the dead; others say Elijah or other of the old prophets.” And Jesus...

"Last week I talked about how we can learn about the Creator from looking at creation. And I think we can also learn about the Creator's economy by looking at creation. It’s simple: The grass grows without being asked. The water runs without being rationed. The sun shines on everyone, just and unjust, human and more than human. The early church was attempting to become, in human community, what the earth already is — a system where abundance flows to everyone rather than accumulating in a few hands." See more:

Acts 2:42-47  Last week we wandered together inside Psalm 23. We ate the green grass. We walked through the dark valley. We felt the protection of the Good Shepherd. And we held the tension the psalm itself holds — between abundance and suffering. I want to stay inside that tension today, because...

"This is not a cosmos designed for human comfort. It is something more extravagant: a commitment to life at every scale, across all time—a commitment that does not exempt any of us from suffering, but holds that suffering within a larger frame." See more:

Earth Day Sermon — Psalm 23 Our Scripture today is Bobby McFerrin’s version of “The 23rd Psalm.” This setting was written by Bobby in honor of his mother, so he refers to God as she. Dave Worm — who will be wish us for worship two weeks from now with Ann Speyer — is singing...

"I think we are Mary at this present time of ecological, political, social and (soon to be) economic crisis. We are standing in the garden, in the dark, weeping over what has been lost, in shock at the loss, in despair — and we are not yet able to recognize the new life that is also present, right here, right beside us."

Easter Sunday John 20: 1, 11-15 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. She stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb, and she...
