 World Communion Sunday is Sunday. October 6
World Communion Sunday, the first Sunday in October, is a celebration observed by several Christian denominations, taking place on the first Sunday of every October, that promotes Christian unity and ecumenical cooperation. It focuses on an observance of the Eucharist.

You will be invited to come up to receive Communion this Sunday, with an option for pew service. Please partake of the gluten-free wafer and cup when you are served.
 
If you are worshiping with us remotely during the live stream, we encourage you to participate in communion at home. You may prepare bread and cup (grape juice or wine) to be ready to eat and drink following the words of institution.
 
May you experience the fullness of Christ’s blessing as we eat and drink together, whether you are physically in the sanctuary or at home.
It's Time for our 2025 Generosity Campaign!
We are so grateful to you and to the entire congregation for your generous financial support of State College Presbyterian Church (SCPC) over the past year. We continue to find innovative new ways to celebrate, nurture, and serve together! 
 
SCPC continues in a season of transition and adaptation. Your generosity ensures that our ministries thrive as we work together to strengthen our church systems and understand our role in the larger community. 
 
As we consider generosity, we remember that it started with God. God gave! We respond to the generosity God has modeled by offering our time, talent, and resources at personally meaningful levels. 
 
Letters and pledge cards will be going out in the mail/email in the coming weeks - or click here to find out how you can make your 2025 pledge online!

To get the answers, come to the Martin Room on October 13th at 11:30 a.m. Several members of the 2023 Trip Team will be there to talk about their experiences and to answer questions about the trip being planned for July 2025.

​Out of the Darkness Walk ~ October 13
State College Presbyterian Church's Youth Advisory Committee invites all congregants to join us in the Out of the Darkness Walk on October 13th at noon in Tudek Park.

We will also have an opportunity for you to sign up at Church this Sunday, September 15th, during Exploration Hour.
