FEATURED EVENTS & CALENDAR

We’re putting together a simple, homegrown church directory to help us all feel more connected. Everyone is encouraged to partake! No need to sign up to have your picture taken — just come to the table in Trinity Court to verify or add your contact info, give consent to be in the directory, and have a casual picture taken. Feel free to dress as fancy or casually as you want!

We'll have a photographer available those three Sundays, but if you'd prefer to send us your own photo(s), that's fine too. For families, please send individual photos and a group photo of your family.

Directories will be available in January 2025. Questions? Contact Carol Heath.

Join us for lunch on the first Sunday of Advent to learn about ideas for how you can celebrate Advent at home with your family. Even if you no longer have kids at home, you’re very welcome to join us if you have wisdom, practices, or a creche to share. We hope to see you there!

All are invited to the annual Christmas Brunch to celebrate the holiday season. At festively decorated tables, homemade frittata, salad, and biscuits will be served with apple pie for dessert. The Homestead High School Choir led by Dr. Jeff Morton will share some charming holiday music. Please register in advance; cost is $17.

Calling all seniors age 80+! Bring your own coffee/tea/water/etc., wear anything Christmas-y that you like, and let’s chat as we share memories of Christmases past.

No need to RSVP, just join us on Zoom!

Everyone is invited to this special event! We'll start out singing some favorite Christmas carols, followed by a festive lunch. Hardy's serving! Please RSVP so we know how much food to prepare.  (Volunteers needed!)

If you've lost a loved one, join us the first Sunday of each month. Email Karlee with any questions, or learn more on the Support Groups page.

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.
Note: Centering Prayer will not meet on Dec. 8.

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.

Combining faith with a concern for creation, this new group will use Bible study as the basis for exploring a variety of environmental topics. Throughout the year, we'll plan several hands-on activities. After the initial study, the group will also explore how Sunnyvale Pres could become an “Earth Care Congregation,” a PC(USA) designation for churches that commit to meeting environmental goals. For more information, email the environmental justice action group leader.

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

Join us for our monthly CircleSong gatherings! Both Sunnyvale Pres and The Music School sponsor this free monthly event. CircleSongs is an easy collaborative group-singing format where we join our voices together to create improvised songs. We all have music in our bodies and souls, and we will work together to bring that out in each of us. No experience or skills necessary — only an open heart and an open ear. Led by Adam Lee, Assistant Director at The Music School.

Sing Together, Groove Together, Be Together.

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 Laura. 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. Led by Rev. Evie Macway.
