Woodland Avenue United Methodist Church

About this church

Woodland Avenue United Methodist Church in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, gathers for Sunday morning worship at 9:15 a.m. at 201 Woodland Avenue. The congregation is one of five United Methodist churches in the Punxsutawney Cross Town Ministries charge, which shares pastoral leadership, a website, and a calendar with Grace, Hamilton, Frostburg/Hopewell, and Valier. Some older pages on the site list a 9:00 a.m. start, so visitors should confirm the time before a first visit. A live worship stream begins at 9 a.m. on Sundays through the Punxsy Grace YouTube channel, with full-service and sermon-only archives available afterward. An audio recording of the service can also be requested.

A Bible study meets on Mondays at 1:00 p.m. at the Woodland Avenue building. The church also hosts a drive-thru food pantry distribution once a month, usually on a Monday at 5:00 p.m. First-time guests are asked to bring proof of residence and proof of income and to leave the trunk empty so volunteers can load food. A Little Lending Library stands in the church yard, and the church gives away free books to adults and to children on trick-or-treat night. An older notice lists a women's group meeting on the second Thursday of the month, which is worth confirming. The Woodland office is staffed Thursday mornings and can be reached at 814-938-8160.
