State College Presbyterian Church ~ Welcome to our Congregation and our Worship! 
We believe that Jesus Christ came to reveal the fullness of God's love for us, and we continue to celebrate that love through praise, sacraments, service, and community.

Wandering Women ~ Saturday, June 15
Linda Morrow and Liane Roe will lead this month's hike as we head up iconic Mt. Nittany. Plan to meet at the church at 8:45 am to car pool and to discuss which trail to use--the 1/2-mile White Trail that is short and steep, but some prefer, or the 1-mile Blue Trail. While the elevation gain is the same, the walk up the Blue Trail is more gradual but does have a rocky and steep section near the top. Linda has photos of the rocky part so we can decide before we go. 

Either way, bring hiking poles if you have them as well as water, a snack in your pocket and bug spray. We expect to return at noon. Those who intend to meet at the Trailhead at 9:00 am, please let Linda know by 8:45 that day. You can also call Linda with questions about the hike at this number: 814-880-4819. There is a trail map and information at https://mtnittany.org/home/hike/trails/.

Krislund Camp Scholarships
The Education Ministry Unit is continuing to support our families who send their children and youth to Krislund summer camps by offering $100 towards full week camps, and $50 towards half week camps and day camp. The easiest way to make sure you get this assistance is to call Krislund and talk to someone in person and mention our church.  The paper registration forms do have a place where you can indicate you would be getting a scholarship. Maybe the online portion does as well ! Scholarships are available for ONE summer EXPERIENCE each summer per child, to any church family, whether members of SCPC or active in any of our youth programs.
Check it out today and register your child for KRISLUND CAMP! http://krislund.org/.
