FEATURED EVENTS & CALENDAR

Queer/trans folk & allies* are invited to make music together! All levels of singers are welcome. Even if you can't perform, we'd love to have you just come and sing with us! We will share our music at the Sunnyvale Pres Queer-led Worship service at 10 am on August 23. Rehearsals on Thursday evenings at 7 pm (July 16 - August 20). For questions and the full rehearsal schedule, sign up below or email Cody Scott.

* Allies are people who support and celebrate Queer/trans people, and advocate for equal rights and fair treatment. 

How does what we do shape who we are and how we connect? At every level, from retirees missing their work friendships, to mid-career workers nervous in the face of layoffs, to recent grads unable to get an entry-level job in their field, we are all feeling the job stress and a loss of human connection. This series will explore what the Gospel says about identity, belonging, and our responsibility to each other.

Meet our faculty and staff, tour our classrooms, studios, and piano lab, and enjoy solo and ensemble performances by our students.  Popcorn, cotton candy, musical crafts, and face-painting are open to everyone.  No tickets or registration is needed to attend.

We are an Open & Affirming church! Members of the Sunnyvale Pres queer community will lead us in worship, including special music from the Out Loud Choir. Please join us, and wear your Sunnyvale Pride shirt!

We'd love for you to join us for this young adult gathering.  It's a low-key get-together with friends, games, snacks and good conversation. Bring a snack or drink to share.  

Students (6th grade through seniors) are invited to a bowling night as our first Youth Group of the program year. Come hang with us at Homestead Bowl as we kick off this year’s Youth Group!

Come join us Sunday, August 30 @ 10 am for Silicon Valley Pride! The parade and festival will be located at Plaza de César Chávez Park in Downtown San Jose, at the intersection of Julian & Market Streets. It will be a great time to connect with others as we celebrate Pride! Please sign up below to note interest in marching in the parade. Wear your Sunnyvale Pride shirt.

Everyone is invited to finish the crafts started in June for the Sunnyvale Community Services Fall Craft Fair. Snacks & beverages will be provided; please bring a sack lunch for yourself. Email PW with any questions. Feel Free to bring a friend!

Join us in person or online for the purpose of election of church officers.

At last, the All-Church Retreat! All ages are invited to come for a weekend of fellowship and respite. The main purpose of this year's retreat is to build community, offer opportunities for spiritual reflection, and have some fun together!

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.

Families with children ages 5 months to 5 years old are invited to the PELC Preschool Open House. Current and prospective students are welcome to come and tour the facilities, meet the teachers and staff, and see what the children have been learning this year. Registration for the 2027–2028 school year will begin in January.

Holidays can be tough after the loss of a loved one. To assist you, the Surviving the Holidays seminar equips people with ways to manage the emotional rollercoaster of parties, well-meaning family and friends, and events as you navigate the busy season ahead. Led by Rev. Annanda Barclay, our time will include a video and time for discussion. To register, please use RSVP link or contact Karlee Harrison at karlee@sunnyvalepres.com

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.
