Communion Sunday Service of Prayer & Presence – Rev. James Richard & Rev. Erik Swanson

Join us as we gather in sacred community

to LISTEN. to SPEAK. to ENGAGE.

Your voice matters. Your presence matters. Your healing matters.


We are excited to have Rev. James Richard from the Foundations of Faith congregation finally able to come and join us for Labor Day weekend.

Pastor James will be a new face for some of us. Many of us have had the chance to talk online and get to know Pastor James from Westhope’s monthly online gathering with our sister church in South Carolina, Foundations of Faith. Some of us met Pastor James through the education series in February Seeking the Roots of Current Issues Through Black/African History.

Meet and Greet and Conversation:  Saturday August 31st from 1-4pm at Colleen Petersen's house (13401 Sterling Oak Ct, Saratoga).  Please bring some finger food to share.  We will have an intentional time of conversation from 2-3:30pm regarding "Spirituality and Race in America".  

Sunday there will be an informal conversation at 9am in the Session room and then Sunday Service at 10am that Pastor James and Pastor Erik will lead together.  

We certainly hope you can join us for any or all of these opportunities to learn together as a larger community. 


SUNDAYS 10AM

Communion Sunday Pantry

Bring fresh fruits and veggies on the 1st Sunday of the month from your garden, the farmer's market or the grocery store to share with our unhoused brothers and sisters at New Haven Inn, served by LifeMoves.

LifeMoves is a charitable organization that Westhope has been supporting for some time now; they provide interim shelter and services to unhoused people throughout the Bay Area. Their Villa location supports 15 families and 18 single women in San Jose, while their New Haven Inn location serves members of the LGBTQ+ community who are unhoused.

We are all invited to share in the abundance of our lives by bringing fresh fruits and veggies on Communion Sundays to be delivered to the guests at New Haven Inn.
