Knoebels Family Day

Join us for a day full of faith, fun, and fellowship at the beautiful Knoebels Amusement Resort this August 10th! 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 Amusement Park closes at 8:00 PM.

Tickets for Youth

The Christian Education Committee is providing one $20.00 packet of tickets for each youth in our Sunday School and Youth Group who sign up by Sunday, August 3, 2025. The sign up sheet is on a table in the Auditorium (larger social hall); or you can sign up by contacting the church office; or signing up at a Youth Group meeting. Tickets will be handed out at the conclusion of worship at Knoebels, so you need to be present at the Knoebels worship service to receive your free packet of tickets.

We are receiving donations from the congregation for our youth activities fund to make these tickets available. For more information on sponsoring youth, please contact Lari Leiby or the church office.

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.
