Join Us!
We're excited to welcome back Music in the Vineyards for their annual "Play-Along" Concert:
Bring your instrument and be part of the music! Join Music in the Vineyards for the Third Annual Play-Along of Pachelbel's Canon in D, a beloved tradition where audience members of all ages and skill levels come together with the Festival’s acclaimed professional musicians to perform this timeless classic.
The afternoon’s performance also features works by two of today’s most acclaimed composers: Grammy Award-winner Jessie Montgomery and Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw, as well as Felix Mendelssohn’s Octet, a masterpiece composed when he was just 16 years old. Whether you’re performing or just listening, it’s an inspiring celebration of community and creativity!
All instruments are welcome and we will have parts available for different instruments/ranges at the church. Parts will also be posted on our website closer to the concert date. Don’t play an instrument but want to join in? Get creative - tap along on “kitchen percussion” like Tupperware, pans or tongs. This is a great option for young children as well!

Join us on Wed. Sept. 3 in Courtyard 1333 at 4 p.m. as we discuss "Everything is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection."
Summary from Amazon.com:
In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year.
In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world—and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.
Women of all ages are invited to join us in Jennie Allen's 6-week Bible study "Untangle Your Emotions: Naming What You Feel and Knowing What to Do About It."
From the study:
God made us to feel our emotions, to examine and share them--not manage or suppress them...We'll discover that emotions that are submitted to God and used for the purposes God intends, connect us to each other and to Him.
Please email Jane Roscoe, children@fpcnapa.org, if you would like to join in the study. We'll have study guides available before we meet on Sept. 8.
Meets in the church library Mondays, Sept. 8-Oct. 13, 6:30 p.m.
