FEATURED EVENTS & CALENDAR

Get ready to level up your weekend! Young  Adults are having a Video/Board Game Night. Think epic battles, friendly competition, delicious snacks and awesome fellowship. Drop in or out as your schedule permits, and bring a snack and/or games to share. 

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.

Everyone is invited to get to know Pastor Annanda — in person or online. Pastor Annanda will share her/their story from a perspective of spirituality, race, gender and sexuality. We’ll end with a Q&A. (No RSVP necessary, just drop by after church!)

How can spirituality serve as a catalyst for social
transformation and healing in an age of darkness and
despair? What can we do to cultivate more inclusive,
justice-centered spirituality?

Join the conversation at Christopher Tirres’s upcoming
book launch. Liberating Spiritualities: Reimagining Faith in the Américas explores these questions by drawing on the rich traditions of liberation theology and philosophy in the Americas. Christopher attends Sunnyvale Pres and is a professor of religious studies at SCU.

Please stop by Jake’s Pizza afterward to greet the pastors!

Pastors Hardy and Annanda are eager to get to know you. We’ll order some pizza and beverages ahead of time, so drop by for some good food and casual conversation.

Our traditional Ash Wednesday service, including imposition of ashes. 

Join Children's Ministry for a movie night! We will be watching Frozen. Potluck dinner—please bring a nut-free dish to share. Feel free to wear your PJs! (RSVP not necessary, please just show up.)

Women and nonbinary adults are invited to our annual Spring Retreat at the Vallombrosa Center in Menlo Park. Come for a weekend of connecting and learning together, and having a whole lot of fun!

Bring your eggs and we'll supply the dye and decorations. Bounce castle, face painting, snacks, crafts and free raffle prizes! Families with kids of all ages are invited!  If you're able to volunteer or donate some items from the Amazon wish list, click here.

If you've been attending Sunnyvale Pres and are interested in becoming a member, join Pastor Hardy for the New Member Class.

Everyone is invited to a good old-fashioned potluck following the Palm Sunday service. Bring a dish to share prior to the service and drop it off in the kitchen. Questions? Email Carol.

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.

Mark your calendars now for this all-church event. Everyone is invited! We'll have food, fun, live music and activities for all ages.

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 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. Led by Rev. Evie Macway.
