More than just being a place to get work done, the Neighborhood is about the people you can meet and the friends you can make when you show up to the same place together week after week, with the intention of getting to know others. We’re open from 1-5pm most Mondays and Fridays, and we’d love for you to come by!

We have an awesome weekend opportunity to serve one of our favorite local non-profit community partners from 10am-12noon. So come one and come all for a quick but helpful service project!

Details

West Valley Community Services wants to unite the community to fight hunger and homelessness, and they envision a community where every person has food on the table and a roof over their head. Clients shop the food pantry during the week, so the weekend is the best time to give it a deep clean!

We will be sweeping, wiping, scrubbing, vacuuming, and mopping: floors, shelves, fridges, freezers, carts, milk crates, and more. If we can clean it and make it shine, we will!

What to expect:

• Meeting new people and/or getting to know them better while you serve alongside each other

How to prepare:

• Wear clothes you don't mind possibly getting grubby

• Bring layers in case you get cold easily and/or volunteer to clean out any of the freezers/refrigerator sections

• Latex gloves are provided, but if you have your own favorite pair of work gloves, bring those. Sometimes people like to wear a mask too—we use food-safe disinfectant spray, but it can be nice to not stick your face in what you just spritzed! Mask and gloves are both optional though.

• Bring a water bottle

• We will meet at WVCS, located at 10104 Vista Dr, Cupertino, CA 95014

• Park on the street—parking is free, but you might want to give yourself a couple extra minutes to walk from the car

More than just being a place to get work done, the Neighborhood is about the people you can meet and the friends you can make when you show up to the same place together week after week, with the intention of getting to know others. We’re open from 1-5pm most Mondays and Fridays, and we’d love for you to come by!

This month’s neighborhood worship service will be followed by our usual community meal, but with a twist—we’ll be hosting a food truck from Zaida’s Kitchen! Coming to the service and staying for the meal is a great way to meet new people, connect with God, and either deepen or explore faith.

Who are these Neighborhood Worship Services & Community Meals for anyway?
Everyone! As a new church, we have focused on building community and relationships, so that when we start a weekly worship service later this fall, everyone will know that they are welcome and wanted.

If you’re curious about Jesus, new to church, or have been disconnected from the church for a long time, you will find a place to plug in, with a style of service that is accessible, thought-provoking, and honoring.

If you’re searching for a church family where you can use your God-given gifts to become more like Jesus, you’ll also find a home here, to grow, be transformed, and to serve. You’ll also get to experience the joy of seeing others respond to God—perhaps for the very first time!

What will the worship service look like?

We orient our Spirit-led service around the Christian Scriptures, with a spaciousness that allows us to respond to God as he speaks with us. Together we engage ancient and modern practices, which will include the option to participate in communion every service. We also share original music and liturgy that we write for our neighborhood, as well as classic hymns and historic prayers that have been giving people around the world hope and meaning for centuries.

Community meal
We plan to follow every monthly service with community meal, where people can continue to connect around the table. Even though we’re grateful for the way tech improves our lives, we also know it can’t replace in-person interactions. There’s nothing like being with friends in real life. So after each service, we’ll have questions that we can discuss together over a meal, questions about what stood out to us in the service, and what’s going on in our lives. We’ll have the opportunity to get to know new people, and also get to experience being known. Together, we’ll create a safe space—whether you’re an extrovert or introvert, whether you want to go deep or are more comfortable listening than speaking, you are welcome here!

Of course, behind the scenes and beforehand, there will be people serving the community who want to help prepare and set up meals, greet people as they come in, run slides and sound, sing and play instruments, and more. If that’s you, let us know—a church service is a reflection of a church body, and takes many committed folks to make it possible!

(INDOOR EDITION): Now on the fourth Friday night of every month we bring together a supportive community of those who love music, the spoken word, clean(!) comedy, and creative arts.

This is a time when imperfect people can come together and encourage one another to step out and share something new, to be vulnerable enough to be ourselves, to take a risk, and discover we are appreciated just as we are. Whether you have something you want to share or if you want to cheer on others who do, we want you here!

For the rest of the season, we’ll be outdoors in the courtyard when the weather and sunlight allows, and only indoors if it’s too cold or dark (or in the very unlikely event of rain!).

Read on for what to expect if you’re coming to support a performer, and below that, what to expect if you’re performing.

The headline is: let's have fun meeting new people and supporting the local creative arts scene. Please keep in mind that this is designed to be a safe space for people, whatever background we are from or whatever beliefs we have. If you have questions about content, let us know. We're happy to help.

I'm coming to cheer on the performers! What do I need to know?

• The "coverage charge" is to bring some canned goods for West Valley Community Services. Check out what they need the most

• Bring a lawn chair, a jacket or a blanket—whatever you need to stay comfy or warm as the sun goes down. There are a few picnic tables where you can sit if you don’t have a lawn chair, but a lawn chair is always more comfortable!

• You might also want to bring sunglasses or a hat for when the sun starts to set behind the trees.

• Feel free to bring your own snacks or NA beverages, but we’ll have seltzers and ice cream to share too!

I'm coming to perform! What do I need to know?

• Slots are 5-10 minutes, depending on how many performers we have. Time slot includes your set-up time

• Sign up with this form ahead of time to get a slot, or come at 6:45pm the night-of! (Sorry! We can’t guarantee people who come later will get a slot)

• Bring your instrument (unless you’re playing keys—we’ll provide a house keyboard: a Roland Juno-DS 88)

• If you're a vocalist that wants live accompaniment, head over here and let us know what song you want to do. The more notice you give us, the better chances are we can accompany you live. Tracks are okay too, but live is fun, right?

• We’ll have two mics, a 1/4 inch connection for your instrument, and two music stands

• Keep it family-friendly! If PG-10 were a rating, that’s what we’d be going for

• The "coverage charge" is to bring some canned goods for West Valley Community Services. Check out what they need the most

Can't wait to see (and hear!) you there!

Looking for a way to connect with others and give back to start your weekend off right? Let's serve West Valley Community Services together for a quick but high impact service project.

Because of an incoming food drive, WVCS will receive such a high volume of food pantry donations that they have to rent storage pods to contain them all before they are sorted. What we do is make sure that goods that are WAY past the expiration date do not pass go, and we also help them categorize by type to make it easier to stock their shelves. It's amazing how many cans we can process together as a group!

This is a great opportunity for us to get to roll up our sleeves and serve our community, while we also get to know our neighbors. Note that we’re meeting at West Valley Community Services, not on the church campus!

Sometimes summer can feel a bit stale or even lonely—it can seem like everyone else has travel plans! But you can mix it up this summer right from home, as we'll be hosting monthly worship services this summer on Second Sundays, followed by a cookout in our courtyard. This is a great way to meet new people, connect with God, and either deepen or explore faith.

After hearing about the vision and values of the church, and getting to ask any questions you might have, you’re invited to stay for a simple meal as we transition to the courtyard for a little cookout around 5:15/5:30pm.

Whether you plan to stay for dinner or if you’d rather just come for the first part, please RSVP to hello@wvneighborhoodchurch.org let us know that you’re coming (and if applicable, if you have any food restrictions for us to accommodate). We’d love to get to know you better, and as you’ll hear, we’re big believers in the bonding that happens around a table or over a meal!

(INDOOR EDITION): Now on the fourth Friday night of every month we bring together a supportive community of those who love music, the spoken word, clean(!) comedy, and creative arts.

This is a time when imperfect people can come together and encourage one another to step out and share something new, to be vulnerable enough to be ourselves, to take a risk, and discover we are appreciated just as we are. Whether you have something you want to share or if you want to cheer on others who do, we want you here!

For the rest of the season, we’ll be outdoors in the courtyard when the weather and sunlight allows, and only indoors if it’s too cold or dark (or in the very unlikely event of rain!).

We're happy to help.

I'm coming to cheer on the performers! What do I need to know?

• The "coverage charge" is to bring some canned goods for West Valley Community Services. Check out what they need the most

• Bring a lawn chair, a jacket or a blanket—whatever you need to stay comfy or warm as the sun goes down. There are a few picnic tables where you can sit if you don’t have a lawn chair, but a lawn chair is always more comfortable!

• You might also want to bring sunglasses or a hat for when the sun starts to set behind the trees.

• Feel free to bring your own snacks or NA beverages, but we’ll have seltzers and ice cream to share too!

• If you're a vocalist that wants live accompaniment, head over here and let us know what song you want to do. The more notice you give us, the better chances are we can accompany you live. Tracks are okay too, but live is fun, right?
