Name: 6.8.25 - Message: Pentecost by Valley Presbyterian Church
Duration: 18 min 12 s
Description: Pentecost is a high day in the story of the church – not just because of the original moment of the Holy Spirit's arrival, but because every year we need to remember that our power and hope comes from God. The church's mission has never been dependent on smart, savvy, sophisticated people. It has always been about God working through the most unlikely people in the most unlikely circumstances.

On Easter Sunday, April 21, 2019, Pastor Jenny Warner shared caterpillar-to-butterfly stories during the children's moment at the altar steps. She later expanded on this theme during her sermon, with inspiration to bloom into the best of ourselves, at all seasons of life.

Rev. Jenny Warner - Easter Sunday "Butterflies RISE" - 4/21/19

Valley Presbyterian Church has an international reputation as a destination wedding setting, but for some 350 people in the Bay area, it’s more than a wedding, or even a Sunday, destination:  it’s our home.

Because of our proximity to Stanford and Silicon Valley, a lot of us work in academia or technology.  Because of our love of and passion for the arts, many of us are working artists, writers, and musicians – or aspiring to be!  We follow Christ in the teachings of the Reform tradition (PCUSA), though individually, our paths vary.  What we share is a longing for God, a connection to the community, and meaningful ways to serve the wider world.

Even though we are a destination church, we believe that we are called to risk the Spirit-led journey. And we are really one another’s traveling companions and support team along the way.
