FEATURED EVENTS & CALENDAR

Sunnyvale Pres has been working with church consultants Ministry Architects to help us identify our church's Vision, Values and Goals for the future ministry of our church. Learn more about the visioning process, sign up for a Sharing the Vision group, and read about the Volunteer Program here.

Join us as our current sermon series explores the Book of Ruth, hearing how stories of belonging can guide us toward lives of collective flourishing, even in a world where exclusion so often prevails. The book Borders and Belonging will serve as the complementary text for the sermons (one chapter per week). Modern Worship Collective will also cover the topics of Borders & Belonging, as we hear first-person immigration stories from people in our community. Discussion groups are forming, find out more!

Enjoy a meal with family and friends while supporting PELC! 30% of your purchase will be donated to PELC. The fundraising applies to dine-in, take-out, and delivery orders placed directly through the Pizza My Heart website, pizzamyheart.com. (Please note: orders placed through DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grub Hub will not count toward the fundraiser.)

When ordering, be sure to mention PELC or use the online code PELC513 so your purchase supports our school.

Youth, parents, family, and volunteers are all invited to join us for our final youth & parents group before summer begins. We’ll have a BBQ on the patio with music, games, open gym, and good food. We’d love to see you if you’ve been involved with Youth Ministry or would like to be involved in the future!

PW is celebrating Spring with a potluck salad lunch and entertainment from The Music School. PW members may bring a "plus one;" if you're not a PW member and would like to attend, please contact us. Children are welcome (Playstation tables will be available.)

Bring your potluck item (enough to feed four) to Fellowship Hall before church or by 11 am. Dessert and drinks will be provided. Donations will be taken to support Front Door Communities Lifted Spirits Women's Drop-in and the North County Family Shelter of Sunnyvale/Bill Wilson Center.

Everyone who volunteers or works with children and/or youth is required to be Safe Church trained. The class is available several times throughout the year; you only need to attend one of the sessions.

Presbyterian Women (PW) will be making crafts for the Sunnyvale Community Services Fall Craft Fair. Craft supplies and instructions will be provided, but we'd like donations of craft supplies and equipment (click the button for a list of things to bring). Snacks & beverages will be provided, please bring a sack lunch for yourself. Email PW with any questions. Feel Free to bring a friend!

Save the date and plan to attend worship as we welcome our new confirmands into the congregation. This will be a special community-wide celebration, as we will also honor our grads in church and then come together for lunch, live music and activities for all ages at the all-church Potluck Picnic in the Park! 

During worship on June 7, the SVPC community will celebrate everyone promoting from 5th grade, 8th grade, high school, and all post-secondary degrees. We'll continue the celebration later at the all-church Potluck Picnic in the Park at 12:30 pm at Las Palmas Park. 

Mark your calendars now for this all-church event. Everyone is invited! The church will provide the main dish (including a vegetarian option). Please bring a side or dessert to share. Lots of activities for all ages, including a jump house, cotton candy, games, and live music! This picnic is also an extension of our Promotion Sunday celebration, so join us in celebrating all those marking their education milestones! Volunteers are needed!

Your kids will explore the bible and discover new ways to care for God's creation and for one another. They have been given the power to feed, heal, forgive, pray, and rest—essential tools to help repair all that has gone wrong in the world. They'll learn more about their mending powers at Operation Restoration VBS! We've partnered with The Music School to give you the option for aftercare, with Lunch/Sing Hour (noon to 1 pm) and a Music Camp (1 to 3 pm).

We’ll learn about the history and present reality of colonization, trauma, and ongoing conflict in Korea, and especially about the impact of American imperial and military forces on the lives of ordinary Korean people. Through the connections we make — with local partners and each other — we’ll learn to confront militarism in our own society through proactive peacemaking. 

The trip is open to anyone middle-school-aged or older. To learn more, click the button below or email Pastor Hardy with questions. Applications are open now and due by February 9.

If you've lost a loved one and are walking the journey of grief, come join others in a Zoom space where it's okay to not be okay. Tears, laughter, and the presence of others who also know loss will help ease the pain and provide a way to experience the love of God. Now meeting on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. Led by Pastor Annanda. Email Karlee with any questions.

Come once a month for a beautiful and contemplative prayer gathering. Based on the contemplative practice learned at the Corrymeela Community, we'll sit for 20 minutes of silence in the presence of God, after which we'll read a short Bible passage, poem, or prayer, and then pray for the needs of community members and close with the Prayer for Courage.

Come explore a corner of our church campus where heaven touches earth. After service, follow the sidewalk next to the church office and you’ll discover the labyrinth. Anyone is welcome who would like to experience God’s closeness through walking prayer.

Join us as we seek peace, hope, healing, and love by praying for our nation at this monthly online prayer session. Sessions will begin with a guided prayer/meditation, followed by open-ended prayers expressed verbally, in silence, or written in the Zoom chat. Led by Debbie Shaver.

Stop by for conversation and connection with parents of all ages. Younger children are welcome!

Everyone's invited to Modern Worship Collective (MWC), where we faithfully try to witness how God is breaking through the spiritual status quo. We're discovering new ideas of worship where everyone can contribute in community, beauty and sacred space. We share a meal, sing new and different songs, experiment with liturgies and spiritual practices, talk with one another, and build community. We listen for ways God calls us to a larger story, and hear God’s voice in our changing and chaotic time.

Contemplative worship with Taizé-style music, meditations, prayer, and communion. Most often lay-led.

Sunnyvale Pres seniors in your 80s and older are invited to a virtual coffee hour with Pastor Annanda. Email Karlee with any questions.

Do you have a diagnosis of macular degeneration? Join us over Zoom to share experiences, resources, and helpful hints. This group meets about quarterly and is open to all with this diagnosis.
