Resurrection Orthodox Presbyterian Church invites you to Food for Thought every Tuesday, from June 25 – August 20, at 6:00 PM in State College.
What to Expect from Food for Thought:
- Enjoy dinner with people from your local community (no charge)
- Engage in serious spiritual discussion
- Explore the true historical identity and significance of Jesus
- Examine what you believe about God and how it compares with the Bible
Each week, there will be a free dinner followed by a discussion of a passage from the Bible. No prior knowledge will be assumed. However familiar or unfamiliar you are with Christianity and the Bible, you’re welcome to come learn and discuss your thoughts and questions. If you’re not sure you’d feel comfortable meeting with strangers to talk about these kinds of things, just remember: everyone will be in the same boat! And by the end of the summer, we won’t be strangers anymore. This is a great opportunity to make new connections in your local community in a relaxed environment while discussing the things that matter most.
Food for Thought meets at the St. Peter’s building, located at 1795 W. College Ave., between Blue Course and Science Park Road.
All are welcome, and feel free to bring your family!
No need to attend every week. Come when you can.
For additional information email: [email protected] or call 814-206-0186.

There are many reasons to buy local, but the best reason is flavor. Food that doesn’t travel as far is fresher. In Downtown State College, seasonal eating is just a short walk away with farmers markets twice a week, and our independently owned restaurants which use locally grown and sourced food. Our markets are attended by a selection of local farms and artisans.
Small local farms are more likely to use sustainable farming practices and to grow a wider variety of crops. The heirloom seeds that your neighboring farmer grows will remind you what tomatoes (or green beans, potatoes, peppers, and other fruits and vegetables) used to taste like. They will also remind you that there is more than one kind of each, as local farms grow fruits and vegetables that are unique and inspirational to cook with.
Visit any of our markets and find: dozens of local fruit and veggie farmers; local cheeses, meats, and eggs; flowers, herbs, plants and soaps; delicious ready-to-eat baked goods, jams, honey, and lots more.
The markets take place on Tuesdays and Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the 100 block of Locust Lane. Participating farmers are required to personally produce everything they sell. The markets start outdoors the first week of May and run through the beginning of November.
