This service was the first time that we could bring the Zoom worshippers in through a screen in the sanctuary. Cindy Liu and Dave Forter led worship. Malcolm Jones on vocals, Ezra Costanza on viola and Barbary Grant as lead musician. Pastor Jenny preached on the Baptism of Jesus in Luke 3.
This Sunday we began to lean into our hybrid capacity with a reader from home. Pastor Jenny preached on "Pivot into Possibility" for this Epiphany Sunday. Amy Worden, vocals. Paula Seo, piano. Chris Warner, liturgist.
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.
