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:

Start your day with us in a serene setting for an uplifting worship service.

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.

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.
