When Spirits Move: Tales of Awe and AH!
A Storytellers of San Diego Event, hosted by Emily Stamets
Wednesday, October 28, 2026 | 6:30–8:30 p.m.
First Congregational Church of Ramona
404 8th St., Ramona, CA 92065
Ages 14+
Some stories raise the hair on your arms. Others make you gasp, laugh, and grab your neighbor’s sleeve.
Join Storytellers of San Diego and host Emily Stamets for an evening of live, unplugged storytelling that lives in the thin places, where the veil between worlds wears down and something old looks back at you.
When Spirits Move: Tales of Awe and AH! gathers tales of the uncanny and the uplifting: restless ghosts and generous ones, bargains struck at crossroads, houses that remember, and quiet moments when the unseen makes itself known.
Told aloud in the oral tradition, these stories are meant to be heard in the dark, in company, as people have done around fires for as long as there have been fires.
Expect awe. Expect the sudden AH! of a story landing in your bones. Come for the chills, stay for the wonder, and leave with the sense that the world is a little more alive than you remembered.
Bring a friend, or bring your nerve, and we’ll bring the spirits.

Adent Bibe Study: Sabbath
Advent and Sabbath are deeply connected because both invite us to resist the idea that everything depends upon us.
Sabbath is, at its heart, a practice of stopping. We stop our work, our striving, our consumption, and our endless attempts to make the world conform to our plans. We stop because the world does not depend upon us. God is God, and we are not. Sabbath reminds us that creation continues, even when we cease our activity.
Advent carries that same posture into the story of Christ. Advent is a season of waiting. We do not rush Christmas into being. We do not manufacture the incarnation. We wait for what God is already doing and what God alone can accomplish. The coming of Christ is not our achievement; it is God's gift.
This Advent, we will explore that connection together in a three-week Bible study, asking what it might mean to experience Advent as a kind of Sabbath—a season of slowing down, paying attention, waiting, and receiving God's presence.
Dr. Nate Stucky, Director of The Farminary at Princeton Theological Seminary and Author of Wrestling With Rest
Our study will draw on resources from The Playground at Flagler College and the work of Dr. Nate Stucky, Director of the Farminary at Princeton Theological Seminary, helping us reconnect Scripture, creation, embodiment, and the rhythms of rest and renewal.
Wednesdays During Advent
December 2, 9, & 16, 2026
6:30 PM
Fireside Room — First Congregational Church
In a season when everything tells us to hurry, Advent tells us to wait.
In a culture of production, Advent invites us to receive.
And in the midst of our constant striving to become something, Advent reminds us that God is already coming to us.
Come join us as we make a little room to stop, listen, wonder, and wait together.
All are welcome. No prior Bible study experience necessary.

New Members Class
New Members Class
Sunday, September 13 ,
Immediately following the 10:00am worship gathering
In the Fireside Room
Curious about First Congregational Church? Thinking about becoming a member? Or just want a refresher on who we are and where we’re headed?
Join us for our New Members Class, open to everyone—not just those considering membership!
Together, we’ll talk about the history of First Congregational Church, where we’ve been, where we are today, and where we believe God is leading us next. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about our church family, our ministry, and what it means to be part of FCC Ramona.
And membership is pretty simple: it’s a way of saying, “This is my church family.” It also means having a voice and a vote when we make decisions together as a congregation.
Whether you’re brand new, considering membership, or simply want a refresher, come join us!

WISE Book Discussion
This is an excellent book about struggling with depression anxiety or relational pain as a Christian. How we tell ourselves we should feel better through prayer or when others tell us "all you need is Faith to overcome these issues" but it just isn't enough.
This book is about the intersection of faith and therapy and shows why seeking professional help isn't a sign of weakness. It's a sign of moving forward and making healthy changes in your life.
When Faith meets Therapy is written on a very human level, is easy to read, and provides practical steps you can take today as you pursue healing.
Available on Amazon for $13
Please join your WISE team as we read this book over the summer. We will meet up this fall to have a discussion about the book and answer questions.

Open Door Meal
Monday Night Open Door Meal – All Are Welcome!
Join us every Monday (except the 2nd Monday of the month) at 7:00 p.m. in Pilgrim Hall for our Open Door Meal—a free, warm meal for anyone who could use one. Whether you’re in need of a meal yourself or know someone who might benefit, we invite you to come, eat, and share in a time of community and care. No reservations, no requirements—just a good meal and a welcoming space.
Spread the word, and we hope to see you there!
