The First Friday Forum speaker series provides lectures of importance and interest to help inform the entire community about this ever-changing world.
All programs are offered at 1:30 p.m. on the first Friday of the month, January through June, and are sponsored by the Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church (LOPC). Attend the programs that interest you with no subscription or entry fee.
Our June speaker was Dr. Gordon Chang who told the story of the Chinese railroad workers, many of whom left their homes in China to help build the western portion of transcontinental railroad. His pictures illustrate and words describe their challenges, accomplishments, and lives. A recording of his talk and other recent programs are available in the archive below.
Preparation for 2025:
The FFF Team is diligently working to identify and schedule speakers for 2025. Programs will be held in the Sanctuary and available on livestream or Zoom. The schedule will be posted here in late fall.
