OUR RESPONSE TO COVID-19
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
Ygnacio Valley Presbyterian Church is a church family open to all ages and backgrounds. Normally we gather together each Sunday and meet together throughout the week deepening our connection to God and each other.
In these unique and challenging times, our entire community is sheltering in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. But we are still the church. Although we can’t meet currently meet together in person, our church will continue to gather online, support each other, pray and care for our community. This can be a trying time, but we pray God will give us wisdom and creativity in how to support each other and our neighbors as we get through this together.

Please subscribe to our mailing list for weekly updates, and see the below resources for ways you can stay connected while sheltering in place.
RESOURCES FOR GROWTH & CONNECTION DURING COVID-19
Sheltering In Place Together
BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER
Throughout each week we are reading from the Book of Common Prayer as a church community. If you do not have a copy, let Pastor Matt know and he will order a copy for you. You can also follow along on a daily basis at CommonPrayer.net
WEEKLY PRAYER
This is a stressful season and we want to be available to bring comfort and offer encouragement as we travel this journey together. Church leadership will be praying for each congregant and also checking in. If you need professional resource recommendations or other help, you have a prayer request, or if you'd like to talk to a pastor, please email Pastor Matt at or call the church office and leave a message.
FOOD PANTRY
YVPC has an ongoing Deacon's Food Pantry at the church building. If you have food to donate, please contact Pastor Matt to arrange a drop off without physical contact. If you'd like to donate funds to replenish our pantry, please make a note on any online donations or checks. If you or anyone you know is in need of additional food, call the church office and leave a message, or call or email Pastor Matt to pick up pantry items.
WEEKLY PASTOR UPDATE
While we are Sheltering in Place, Pastor Matt is writing a weekly reflection and mailing it to the church community. The letter also includes the week's prayer requests and joys and concerns from Sunday's worship gathering. If you'd like to receive this update, contact the church office or sign up for email updates. You can also read this week's reflection here on the website.
GIVING
While our expenses have not diminished, we have understandably seen a drop in rental income so we ask that everyone as you are able to continue giving and not let up on our culture of contagious generosity during this time. There are opportunities to give online via Paypal, or by mail to the church building. Thank you!
Stay up-to-date with all our events.
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you : wherever he may send you;
may he guide you through the wilderness : protect you through the storm;
may he bring you home rejoicing : at the wonders he has shown you;
may he bring you home rejoicing : once again into our doors.
