We will have a silent auction and games and the Quakertown Band will entertain us with their wonderful music. Please join us for the fun and fellowship that this evening brings. The evening's proceeds will go to our Church School and Christian Education program. VOLUNTEERS are needed on Saturday to help set up, clean strawberries, serve at the food stands, help in the kitchen, waitress, cut cakes, wash dishes and trays, help with the games, clean up, and many other duties. If you can help as a volunteer, please sign up on the list in the Narthex or call the Church Office. We will again have an early and late shift. The strawberry festival is only possible because of the many caring people who pitch in to help and also because of those who attend and support our church. Thank you!
QUAKERTOWN BAND
Each year, we enjoy the music of the Quakertown Band during our annual Strawberry Festival Lawn Fete.
Our goal is to cover the cost with contributions of patrons. If you would like to be a patron, please bring or mail your check (made payable to First UCC Church School Association, marked Quakertown Band Patron) to the church office. Please note that if the contributions exceed the cost of the band, they will be used toward other festival costs. Thanks.
