FEATURED EVENTS & CALENDAR

Grab your bear or stuffy and join us for our annual Teddy Bear concert. We'll present a live program planned especially for young listeners. It's a great introduction to a variety of musical instruments. Admission is free, but donations are gratefully accepted for the Janice Williams Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Bring a snack or drink to share. We will have puzzles, games, and great conversation!

Youth families and friends of Youth Ministry, come join us in celebrating the Lunar New Year by making and eating dumplings! We’ll also provide other foods and New Year’s treats. We’ll be sure to provide both vegan and meat options. The whole family is invited along with advisors, elders and teachers.

Overview of the legal relationship between the U.S. government and Indigenous people, with a focus on the 1823 U.S. Supreme Court opinion that relied on the Doctrine of Discovery, an international law concept used to justify the taking of Indigenous land rights. We’ll also discuss Sunnyvale Pres’s support of local Indigenous people currently attempting to protect their sacred land from destruction by a proposed quarry.

Led by Barry Vickrey, Dean & Professor Emeritus, University of South Dakota School of Law.

Everyone is invited to this retreat to focus us in this time of transition toward a spirituality of intimacy with Earth rather than a spirituality of alienation from Earth, and a vision of interrelatedness and harmony instead of religious and political division. Please register online in advance.

Recently, 4 members of our congregation joined a project called “Change the Story.” The Changemaker Initiative paired us, as members of a faith community, with a young activist from the local community. We worked together to create Luna y Sol Community Space. Join us to hear about The Changemaker Initiative as Sarah, our young activist, and our Sunnyvale Presbyterian foursome share our experiences and our project.

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.

An opportunity for men & nonbinary adults to get away from their everyday lives and enjoy being with each other at Redwood Glen. We hope you'll join us! 

A four-week book discussion about the book by Esau McCaully, offering one American Black Christian’s perspective of the Bible. The class will start with a short presentation recapping the teaching. We will focus on these four chapters:

• The Freedom of the Slaves — Pennington’s Triumph
• Freedom is No Fear — The New Testament and a Theology of Policing
• Black and Proud — The Bible and Black Identity
• What Shall We Do with This Rage — The Bible and Black Anger

You do not need to attend all four sessions if you are unable. Registration helps us know who to expect.

Our traditional Ash Wednesday service, including imposition of ashes. 

Join Children's Ministry for a movie night! Feel free to wear your PJs!

Cook up a fun week with Children's Ministry at VBS 2025: Recipe for Creativity! We’ll explore the story of Genesis — God creating people and the world. Each day includes cooking, crafts, teamwork, worship, and more as we celebrate God’s creations and explore our own creativity in the kitchen!

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.

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!

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.
