 News & Events ​
Welcome Back Dean Lindsey ~ Special Presentation Following Worship on May 26
With the support and prayers of the congregation, Pastor Dean rode with seven others from State College to Washington, DC as part of the annual Interfaith Power and Light bike journey. The group traveled through the beautiful fields and forests of Central and Southern, Pennsylvania, dropped into Maryland via Cowan’s Gap, and rode along part of the C&O canal. They spent several nights in churches along the way, one night in a homeless shelter, and a night at a Jewish retreat center.
 
The end of the trip included a day on Capitol Hill speaking with Pennsylvania legislators about ways we can better care for God’s creation and the earth we share with all of God’s people. The larger group visited the offices of every Pennsylvania Representative and Senator. Dean himself was able to have an extensive conversation with Senator Bob Casey.
 
If you can stay an extra half hour following the 10:00 am service on Memorial Day weekend, he’ll be giving a brief talk about some of his experiences.

See our News and Events page for more photos of the trip!
Young at Heart ~ Friday, May 17
The May 17th program for Young at Heart will focus on Memorial Day, when Meg Pedlow Smith and Dan Smith will present information on the mission and purpose of the Navy Music Program, as well as sharing stories from their life in the Navy Band.  Dan and Meg will speak from their personal experiences in the US Navy Band of 20 years (Dan) and 8 years (Meg), and their times from when they were stationed in Naples, Italy as well as bases in the US, most recently in Newport, RI. The evening will conclude with a patriotic sing-a-long led by Dan Smith and Hope Coder. 

Do good fellowship, delicious food and music appeal to you? Then, you’ll enjoy this evening. Please, join us for supper and this informative presentation. The evening begins as we gather about 5:00 in the Social Hall for conversation over coffee/tea while you set up your things for the potluck supper. Bring a main course, salad, side or dessert to share (your choice), 2 utensils to serve it, and your own table service plus a name tag. Your own table service means: dinner/dessert plate (s), silverware, cup(s) for water/coffee/tea and a napkin. The potluck buffet starts at 5:30 and the program follows, usually about 6:30 PM. We are typically out about 7:30 PM. We hope to see you there.
Wandering Women, Saturday, May 18 
We’ll meet at the Arboretum on Saturday, May 18 at 9:00 am, to walk on the trail (Rails to Trail) behind it before enjoying some time in the Arboretum.  Plan for a few hours to GET OUT and enjoy God’s incredible beauty right here in our own community.  Wear comfy walking shoes and dress for the weather; bring water.

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.
