FEATURED EVENTS & CALENDAR

Sunnyvale Pres is forming small groups of people who are interested in topics of peacemaking and social justice. 

This week our church campus will be filled with children cooking up fun at VBS 2025: Recipe for Creativity! They’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!

Join people from all faiths and walks of life to discuss building peace in our communities. The speakers are actively engaged in peacemaking work in Ireland and Korea: Rev. Bill Shaw, Rev. Dr. Dong Jin Kim, Rev. Hyeyoung Lee, and Mr. Paul Kyumin Lee.

Don't miss THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, in this drop dead hilarious Broadway Musical! "The Addams Family" is spectacularly spooky with some spicy humor.  All guests need tickets, including infants and lap-sitters.  We may sell out, so get your tickets early. 

Join Pastors Annanda Barclay & Rich Pak, Cody Scott, Mike Kunz, and other congregants in a 5k/10k walk or run in beautiful Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Carpool or travel solo. Stick around to enjoy the picnic and pride festivities, or head back home after the run. Fun for the whole family — there's a kids' race at 8:30 am. Registration is $50 and proceeds benefit 3rd Street Youth Center and Clinic.

Queer 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 24. For questions and full rehearsal schedule sign up below or email Cody Scott.

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

This class is being offered by a group called South Bay Queer Solidarity. Their goal is to empower allies and open-minded individuals with accurate information about trans folks from trans folks. The presentation will cover basics about transgender experiences and how to help in the current climate.

A Panel Discussion and Q&A with Rev. Dr. Bear Ride, Rev. Dr. Susan Craig, Rev. Dr. Jaine Sphar, and Elder Michael Adee PhD. (Founder of More Light Presbyterians) about their involvement in the LGBTQIA+ movements in the Presbyterian Church as Queer Elders and Trailblazers of the denomination.

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.

If you've lost a loved one, join us the first and third Sundays of each month. The first Sundays will focus on loss of a loved one, and the third Sundays will be general grief (loss of a loved one, loss of job, pet, relationships, etc.) 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.

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. Led by Rev. Evie Macway.
