State College Presbyterian Church ~ 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.

 News & Events ​
New Name, Same Awesome Fellowship!
Our college-age ministry has a new name!  We are now Presbyterian Student Fellowship, because we wanted a name that was more straightforward.  We will always hold onto the mission and heart of Westminster Presbyterian Fellowship, but felt it was time for a new name to fit a new era of students at Penn State.  If you want to help support this ministry or you’re a college-aged person that wants to get involved contact Allison Maus.
Summer Sunday School
Summer Sunday School on July 14th will be led by Kristen Dixon, and will feature the book "Best of All," by Max Lucado.  It's about how Jesus loves us for WHO WE ARE and labels don't matter!
Join us if you are 4 years old - 3rd Grade for a book and an art project !! Room 10!  We are done right after worship!
Pop-Up Choir ~ Sunday, July 14
You have another chance coming up to join Pop-Up Choir (formerly known as Open Choir) on Sunday, July 14 - Arts Festival Sunday.  Our motto is "Show Up, Sing out, Do Good".

Show up at 9:00 am in the Choir Room. Sing out during the 10:00 am worship service. Do good music and do good serving our congregation!

All singers of all ages are invited.
Flown and Grown ~ July 19
Flown & Grown is going blueberry picking! Friday July 19th from 6 pm until dusk.  Join us!  

The farm (Mountainhome Farm operated by Jo Ann Sengle on 275 Sengle Lane, Julian) is about a 30-minute drive from central State College, off Route 220 between Julian and Unionville. A reservation for our pickers has been made. We need a count of pickers so that we can adjust our reservation if needed. PLEASE RSVP to the SCPC office by July 15th (814-238-2422) and leave your email address. The farm is at the end of a 1-mile steep single-lane gravel road and there is limited parking, so we will be emailing pickers going to organize a carpool.

The bushes are on a steep and rough field on a hill overlooking Bald Eagle Valley (lovely in the evening in fair weather). The owners provide buckets for picking, but pickers should wear sturdy mud-proof shoes and bring their own large container for taking the berries home, plus a rain jacket if it looks like rain. The cost is about $3/quart (cash preferred); Typically can pick 8 to 10 quarts in about 2 hours.

Christmas in July
This summer, as in many summer’s past, the Social Justice and Mission Team is sponsoring Christmas in July. The needs are many, both big and small. Just a little bit of your time and money can mean so much to our neighbors who are sheltered by Centre Safe (formerly Women’s Resource Centre), Centre House/Housing Transitions, and the Youth Service Bureau. These organizations run out of money at the end of their fiscal years, leaving a shortfall in July, when many of our community need more help rather than less.

Christmas in July is an easy and fun way for us to share our summer bounty with others in the community. Choose an ornament (or more) from the Christmas in July tree which will be in the hallway between the church offices and the sanctuary, purchase the item on the ornament, and deliver the goods to the site. That’s how easy it is!

Krislund Camp Scholarships
The Education Ministry Unit is continuing to support our families who send their children and youth to Krislund summer camps by offering $100 towards full week camps, and $50 towards half week camps and day camp. The easiest way to make sure you get this assistance is to call Krislund and talk to someone in person and mention our church.  The paper registration forms do have a place where you can indicate you would be getting a scholarship. 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.
Check it out today and register your child for KRISLUND CAMP! http://krislund.org/.
