Growing Our Relationships

In addition to our worship time (described on our Visitors page), we have several other opportunities to grow in relationship with God and each other:

CLASSES
Our Sunday morning classes for children and adults are focused on learning and practicing God's timeless truths presented to us through the Bible and through the perspective of other Christian writings.

SMALL GROUPS / FELLOWSHIP
We have various small group meetings during the week, including women's and men's lunches and a ladies' Bible class, all of which offer opportunities to share, pray, and grow in an informal setting. Friday evenings are a time for members and friends of all ages to meet at a member's home to talk, snack, and play together. Occasional potlucks are also good times for fellowship.

DAYBREAK CAMP WEEKEND
Each fall we spend a weekend at Daybreak Camp to encourage spiritual growth.

Check the PACC Calendar for a list of current events and activities.

Sharing Our Faith

We feel the most important thing we can do on earth is to help others come into relationship with the creator of the universe through his son Jesus Christ. We share this good news not only with our families and friends, but also with others around the world.

MISSIONS
We are sponsoring Darla Bennett, a missionary in Kampala, Uganda. To learn more about Darla's ministry with the Kampala Church of Christ and the Better Learning Resource Center, see www.kampala-ministry.org.

SIERRA BIBLE CAMP
For a week every summer, our church sponsors a session at Sierra Bible Camp near Mt. Lassen, where campers can grow their faith and come close to God through their interactions with the Bible, nature, drama, sports, and other activities. See our Camp pages for more information.

Serving Our Community

We believe that our faith is to be expressed by blessing others. Our congregation is involved in serving the community in these ways:

URBAN MINISTRY OF PALO ALTO (UMPA)
UMPA is a non-profit corporation sponsored by local congregations, community groups, and individuals who wish to serve homeless and underserved people. We assist UMPA by hosting Hotel de Zink, a homeless program, for the month of April. To learn more about UMPA, see www.innvision.org/umpa.html.

PALO ALTO NURSING CENTER
On the second Sunday of each month, a group of church members meets at the Palo Alto Nursing Center to encourage the residents by singing, reading from the Bible, praying, and visiting with them.

HOLIDAY GIVING
During November we work with Palo Alto Housing Corporation to provide Thanksgiving dinners to families in a financial bind. We also participate in our own program, Souls-Not-Cards, where instead of sending Christmas cards to church members, we post Christmas greetings on a church bulletin board and give the money we saved to help other families in the area.
