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.

Join us for a delightful evening of classical music. Katie Hyun (violin), Abby Chen (viola), Carlos Avila (piano), and Paul Hyun (cello) will perform works by Brahms, Handel-Halvorsen, and Caroline Shaw.  

Everyone is invited to the memorial service for Eva Ordinario at 10 am on Friday, July 24.

Don't miss our annual Summer Theater production, which is great fun for audiences of all ages! This original story is written and directed by Chantelle Urbina, with familiar, colorful songs. The show will open with our teens, alumni, staff, and family members performing a medley of Love Songs Through the Ages!

Pastors Hardy and Annanda led a group (June 12 - 28) to Korea to learn about the history and present reality of colonization, trauma, and ongoing conflict in Korea, and especially about the impact of American imperial and military forces on the lives of ordinary Korean people. Mark your calendar for July 26 to hear reflections and learning from members of the trip during worship, and at the Adult Learning class. (Snacks will be served).

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

War remains a clear and present evil, yet North American Christians often don’t feel equipped to talk about it.  As nationalism and warfare trend around the globe, people seeking peace are compelled to question the mania for militarism and violence. Grace over Guns challenges readers to think through common justifications for military violence and to consider how those justifications might not measure up to the teachings of Jesus. Author Ben Daniel will lead a thought-provoking discussion.

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.

Come and hang out with the pastors! Whether you've just started attending Sunnyvale Pres or have been around a long time, come meet the pastors and other members of the church community. Please RSVP, and we'll send you the address.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.
