Pastor Visioning Process

Christmas Dinner Sign-Ups and Reservations
The annual SCPC Christmas Day Dinner is happening again this year and you are invited to be a part of it. We will be offering in-person dining in the Social Hall as well as drive-thru take-out for those who are not yet comfortable dining in-person. The meal is free to all, regardless of faith. This is our church's annual Christmas gift to the community, so we hope that you will join us to eat, volunteer or donate! Dining room seating in the Social Hall will be by reservation only this year, in order to prevent crowding in the dining room. If you would like to make a dining room reservation, please signup here by December 18th. Take-out orders are available for drive-thru pickup for those uncomfortable with in-person dining and must be reserved in advance. Orders will be packaged and ready to be heated. Delivery is available for those who are physically unable to come to the church. To reserve take-out meals for pickup or delivery, please signup here by December 18th. We need many hands to make the Christmas Dinner a success. Are you able to donate items or volunteer your time for the event? Is so, please signup to help. Volunteer shifts for Christmas Day and setup before, please signup here. Donations of food and supplies, please signup here. (Financial donations towards the dinner can also be made by sending a check to the church office with "Christmas Dinner" in the memo.) Thank you for your generosity and for helping our church to celebrate Christmas with the community! Attention PSU Students!
