Welcome!  
We're glad you're here. Thank you for experiencing this Lenten journey with us — Wednesdays during Lent (Noon – 1 PM).

Each week, we serve a light lunch (soup, sandwiches, & fruit). Lunch is free. There are donation boxes on each table for those who wish to donate to food ministries, which will be divided between Altoona Food Bank, Society of St. Andrew, and our own Community Lunch food outreach!

In the event of inclement weather and we need to cancel (mainly ice), that info will be posted here on this page — clearly marked at the top!

Here's the schedule for 2025 …

Worship at 9 AM & 11 AM
Sunday School at 10 AM

A typical service will last about an hour. We sing mostly traditional music and offer special music from talented musicians. Plan to hang around after the service for fellowship and meeting new people.

What should I wear?
Don't feel like you have to dress up. Most people wear casual attire, but you are welcome to wear whatever makes you comfortable.

Will I be singled out in any way as a guest?
At Wehnwood, you will never be put on the spot, be embarrassed, or feel forced to give money.
