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!

(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!

We're moving indoors for the fall/winter, and we'll be back out on the patio when the weather and sunlight allows.

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

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

We have an awesome weekend opportunity to serve one of our favorite local non-profit community partners on Saturday March 8 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

• Bring a water bottle

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

​We've got so many GREAT people in this group who haven't gotten a chance to meet one another. This will brings new meaning (or maybe just the OG meaning) to co-working: getting to work alongside each other, but on the same projects!

Alpha is designed for anyone who is looking to make friends over a meal with meaningful conversation, and is open to and interested in hearing a variety of perspectives on life and faith.

On Monday February 17 from 6:15-8:15pm we’re hosting another opportunity where you can both literally and figuratively get a taste of what this experience will be like.

Drop us a line at hello@wvneighborhoodchurch.org to RSVP, so we know how many to cook for. Please let us know if you have any food allergies or restrictions and we can make sure you’re covered!

This is the third week of the Alpha experience, but it’s the best week remaining to jump in! We’ll eat a great meal, watch a short film produced by the Alpha Course, and we’ll probably tell a joke or do an ice breaker before getting into the conversation! Since the video each week looks at different elements of the Christian faith, and includes street interviews with people from diverse backgrounds on their perspectives on that week’s theme, participants will have the chance to share our own reactions, perceptions, perspectives, faith/non-faith backgrounds and stories. The more diverse our perspectives, the more interesting the discussion, and the more we can learn from one another.

Please note that while the course is structured to dialogue with major tenets of the Christian faith, this is a beautifully pressure-free safe space for people of all backgrounds and beliefs. While some people who identify as Christian might participate, this is definitely not a "Christian group"—it's meant for people of any background who have questions or are curious.

Expect to bond over the course of the winter as we share stories and experiences. There will also be an optional retreat the weekend of March 22-23 if you’re looking for a change of pace and a chance to deepen friendships.

Alpha is run all around the world, and we love the way it brings people together and creates community!

What can you expect on a typical Alpha night?

• Starting with amazing food (Joel’s a PHENOMENAL cook and adept with handling food allergies, so don’t let that hold you back)

• A joke and/or an icebreaker

• Watching a short film that raises a different question each week. This week’s question is “Why Did Jesus Die?” (according to the Christian faith). On the weeks that follow, since each night's video (produced by the Alpha Course) will look at different elements of the Christian faith, participants will have the chance to share our own reactions, perceptions, perspectives, faith/non-faith backgrounds and stories. The previous weeks were: “Is there more to life than this?” and “Who is Jesus?” (again, with a wide range of opinions and perspectives represented).

• Good, honest conversation, responding to the video with our perspectives, feeling free to share our questions, objections, and diverse experiences, in a safe listening community where we value each other's differences and are open to connecting with others

• Bonding with other participants from different backgrounds, especially if you decide to join the full summer series. (There's something about coming together over a meal every week and having meaningful conversations that creates friendships faster than we normally do in our adult lives, and more like we might have experienced in college.)

• Ending on time. Though you're welcome to linger and chat, we'll have a clear finish by 8:15pm so that you can also head home and get some rest and don't have to feel awkward trying to slip out

Ready to RSVP or have questions?

You've heard of Valentine's Day. You may have even heard of Galentine's Day. But have you heard of Palentine's Day??

To be honest, we don't really need an excuse to celebrate friendship and community (two of our favorite things)—but we'll take it!

If you'd like to opt out of the pressure to have plans on 2/14 (i.e. finding one person to spend an overly-hyped, commercially-driven holiday with) and/or like the sound of meeting some new people and make some new friends in a laidback environment, we'd love to hang out!

We're going to order a simple dinner from Mendocino Farms (think something along the lines of sandwiches and deli sides/salads). Feel free to drop in after work, starting at 5:30pm. We'll get some table games going around 6pm for those who want to play.

The vibe for the table games will be "whatever is fun" and definitely more collaborative than competitive. That said, if you also know that games aren't your thing (but like many humans, being around other people is), feel free to just come and hang out. You might opt to bring something else, like a craft you're working on. We'll also have puzzles next door in case people like that idea. Parallel play is encouraged and welcomed!

In addition to RSVPing for the event, please DM us to let us know if:

1. you're planning on eating with us and

2. you have any food restrictions/allergies that we can take into account.

Thank you for letting us know and keeping your RSVP up to date, because we want to make sure we have enough food but also not waste any either!

As always, you're welcome to join us beforehand for coworking from 1-5pm and stay straight through!

You can drop us an email to RSVP at hello@wvneighborhoodchurch.org, or if you’re on Meetup, RSVP here.

If you have MLK Jr. Day off work and would like to come check out the coworking space and meet some neighbors, we’ll be hanging out, playing some collaborative games, and enjoying snacks! (Cross Clues and The Crew are the two multi-player collaborative games that we’ll have on hand so that the games are a way of bringing us together—instead of creating an intense, ultra-competitive atmosphere. (Which is fine if that’s your vibe, but that’s not what’s going on here.)

If you’re on Meetup, you can join our group to RSVP. It’s called The Neighborhood. You can also email us at hello@wvneighborhoodchurch.org to let us know if you’re coming.

Please update RSVP if your plans change so we can get the right amount of snacks and set up the room(s) accordingly. Thanks in advance—this is hugely helpful for us as hosts!

Looking for a way to connect with others to start the new year? Let's serve West Valley Community Services together: Thursday January 9th from 5:30-7pm for a quick but helpful service project.

Because of the number of holiday food drives, WVCS receives 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. Dress warmly since we’ll be sorting outdoors—note that we’re meeting at West Valley Community Services, not at the church!
