Super Wednesday Dinners
There is a space for everyone around the tables on Super Wednesday when we gather for a home cooked meal prepared by our kitchen team including dessert! Our time gathered around the tables helps us live out our “Gather, Feed, Send” vision with fun and faith alongside our food. Dinner is served from 5:15-6:30 pm from September to May.
Lutheran Campus Ministry
Students have a second home here both in our worship and activities and through the work of Lutheran Campus Ministries. Students sing in our choir, and gather for meals and prayer time here and at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on campus at Penn State. Deacon Alicia Anderson leads campus ministry and all the latest can be found here.
Disciples Together
Disciples Together is a community of God’s people living with and without disabilities, following Jesus together and focusing upon wholeness of body, mind and spirit. We gather for Super Wednesday dinner followed by Bible study on the 1st Monday of the month in our Library to share our highs and lows, hear a Bible lesson, create art, learn music and sign language and pray for each other. We also partner for weekly cardio drumming in our Miller Center with Happy Valley Fitlink, a program of Penn State University’s kinesiology department. We also have fun! Our community-building fun activities include dance parties, picnics, movie nights, Good Day Café takeovers, and more, for everyone to join in. We advocate for the disability community and provide space for Special Olympics practices, Scouts BSA and more in our gymnasium space. Our activities and schedule are found below.
