A Prayer written by John Philip Newell; a teacher and practitioner of Celtic Spirituality
In the gift of this new day, the gift of this present moment, in the gift of time and eternity intertwined,
Let us be grateful, let us be attentive, let us be open to what has never happened before,
In the gift of this new day, in gift of the present moment, in the gift of time and eternity intertwined.

LABYRINTH WALK
In 2004, the church dedicated the labyrinth at the north end of campus to Rev. David McCracken, pastor at FCC Sonoma from 1984 to 2004. The rock-lined labyrinth, shaded by redwoods is a contemplative place integrated into a memorial garden with benches recognizing past members.
