FEATURED EVENTS & CALENDAR

We are a church that serves others! Many of us already volunteer here at church or in the community—others are looking for opportunities to engage in serving. On October 11, we are launching a new tool to help assess people's interests & skills and suggest volunteer opportunities that align. Come on October 11, and we'll help you get started.

The League of Women Voters is back to provide information on the upcoming elections of 14 statewide measures plus local ones!  The non-partisan group helps educate us on the issues we are being asked to vote for.  Bring your ballot with you if you want to fill it out as you learn!

Come and hang with the pastors! If you're newer to the church (have started coming within the past year), come meet the pastors and some other members of the church community. Please RSVP so we know how much food to order.

Families with children ages 5 months to 5 years old are invited to the PELC Preschool Open House. Current and prospective students are welcome to come and tour the facilities, meet the teachers and staff, and see what the children have been learning this year. Registration for the 2027–2028 school year will begin in January.

Presbyterian Women invite everyone to a special gathering. It's a great way to meet new people and reconnect with old friends. All are welcome, and it will be a full potluck (not just salads). We're looking forward to entertainment from the Mountain View High School Madrigals (they will start the performance at 12:15). 

Holidays can be tough after the loss of a loved one. To assist you, the Surviving the Holidays seminar equips people with ways to manage the emotional rollercoaster of parties, well-meaning family and friends, and events as you navigate the busy season ahead. Led by Rev. Annanda Barclay, our time will include a video and time for discussion. To register, please use RSVP link or contact Karlee Harrison at karlee@sunnyvalepres.com

Join us for pizza, ice cream, and the ultimate singalong with a live band! Come sing Broadway showtunes and favorite classics with Music School faculty and friends! A song list will be shared prior to the event, and lyrics will be available for all participants. Song Leader signups will be open at the event.

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 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.

Everyone's invited to Shared Grace (formerly Modern Worship Collective), 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.
