Join us for a day full of faith, fun, and fellowship at the beautiful Knoebels Amusement Resort this August 9th! It's the perfect opportunity for the First UCC family to come together and enjoy a day that's as enriching as it is entertaining. We hope you will invite friends and family to share in the day. Here’s our plan for a fantastic day:
Event Schedule:
10:00 AM: Begin to arrive at the amusement park
10:30 AM: Worship Service at Pavilion Tent #4 (near the “Sklooosh” ride)
Start your day with us in a serene setting for an uplifting worship service.
11:15 AM: Luncheon
Join us right after the service for a luncheon at the Pavilion. It’s a great opportunity to relax, enjoy some delicious food, and chat with fellow church members.
12:00 Noon: Rides and Amusement
After lunch, the amusement park is yours to explore! Rides and concession stands open at 12:00noon, so you can enjoy everything Knoebels has to offer from thrilling roller coasters to family-friendly attractions.
The Water Park is open from 11:00AM to 6:00PM.
The Amusement Park closes at 8:00 PM.
More Details:
This is more than just a day out; it's a way to connect with each other outside the usual Sunday routine. We’re all about creating moments that bring us closer, and there’s no better place than Knoebels for a day of laughter and shared joy.
