Disaster Buckets - You can download a shopping list or pick one up when you’re at church, but please be sure to sign up on the signup genius so we end up with complete buckets instead of 100% sponges and gloves! We are aiming for the nice, Biblical number of 40 this year. The warehouse is severely depleted, and CWS and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance need our help replenishing it.

Wandering Women April Hike ~ April 26
All women of the church are welcome to get your walking shoes ready to join Wandering Women on Saturday, April 26th from 9:00 -11:30 am. Marti Sawyer will be leading our time together.

We will meet at the church at 8:40 am for those who want to car pool; for those driving themselves, parking is available next door to Gigi's at the Nittany Budget Hotel. Turn off Route 26 at Cato Ave., and the motel is on the right. Please park in the slots closest to the street. Dress for the weather, bring water, and consider sunscreen and/or bug/tick spray. We usually walk in light rain, but will cancel if the weather is stormy. Look for any cancellation information due to weather conditions on SCPC Facebook and via email.

Stay & Play Preschool Enrollment for 2025/2026! Please reach out to Laura Seeley, Stay and Play Director, for more information! [email protected] |
Join the Sound/Projection/Livestream Team !
We all owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the small, dedicated group of folks who make sure our audiovisual systems are up and running each and every Sunday (and for special events like funerals). Without them, we would be lost! And here’s the good news: YOU can join them! We are always looking for more volunteers to help, and that could be you. Comprehensive training is provided, and you can choose to help whenever you are available. If interested, please reach out to the church office at [email protected], and we will put you in touch with the right folks. |
Funeral Help Needed
One of the most important ministries we offer as a church community is walking with families as they grieve the death of a loved one. Hosting funerals and memorial services is an integral part of what we do. Of course, many hands are needed when we host these services. Are you interested in helping with greeting at future funerals/memorial services or helping with the reception after? We are looking to start a list of people who would be willing to be contacted for funeral help when the need arises. If you are interested, please reach out to Laura in the church office (814-238-2422). Training will be provided. |
