This Sunday will be the fifth sermon of our summer sermon series and it is titled "Creation and Labor—The Sacred Rhythm of Sabbath and Rest".

Sabbath is a sacred rhythm essential to the Jewish and Christian spiritual life. In a world where our value is determined by what we do and contribute, the architecture of the Sabbath is intended for humanity to rest in the healing and transformative love of God.

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.
