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.

Pre-Advent Soup Supper
Tuesday, November 20
5:30 pm in the Social Hall
Serving will begin at 5:30, but get here when you can!
 
Meal
We are bringing back the Chuck Curley soup recipe this year, and will also have a vegetarian and a child friendly option. Chuck is a former pastor of our congregation and for years made a wonderful beef and vegetable soup.
 
Child Care
There will be childcare for our little ones beginning at 6:15pm in the childcare rooms, and Kindergarten and up are welcome to enjoy the musical along with their family after supper in the sanctuary. 
 
Program
“Mary and Elizabeth” a new one-act musical by Jerry Sawyer with music by Ned Wetherald will be presented for the first time! The story of Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth is often recounted early in the Advent Season. This retelling adds some details and, of course, music to the familiar Bible story.

Advent 2018 ~ Faces at the Manger
 Our Advent Theme this year is “Faces at The Manger.”
Each week during Advent you will see a new PHOTO MOSAIC at the front of the sanctuary, of a face that would have been at the manger for the birth of Christ.
 
That mosaic will be made up of ALL OF OUR FACES!
 
In order to do this, we have set up a photo booth area in the Social Hall that will be open and staffed for the remaining Sundays in November. Grab a friend or a family member and go get your picture taken please! Not only will we post your individual picture on a board in the Social Hall, but your photo will be incorporated into the PHOTO MOSAIC we will make for each Sunday of Advent!
 
JOIN IN THE FUN Sundays in the Social Hall between services!
Men's Covenant Group Advent Programs
The SCPC Men's Covenant Group is offering a special program over two Thursday nights during Advent this year.  

We sometimes think of Advent as a time of waiting for the baby in the manger but this Advent we will draw inspiration from the three Magi, who saw signs in the night sky waiting for them to find a great discovery in Jerusalem, and ask ourselves, "What is waiting for me?"
 
On December 6, we will meet from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at Millbrook Marsh Spring Creek Education Building (548 Puddintown Road; State College, PA 16801). Please bring a journal, a flashlight, a drum or other percussion instrument, and clothing appropriate for the weather.
 
On December 13, we will meet in the Social Hall at SCPC from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm for dinner and time for reflection during this Advent season. 
 
For questions, please contact Brady Wassom at 814-769-0023 or Rob Huffard at 814-777-4079.
