Annual Blueberry Festival on Tues, 8/7













Our Annual Blueberry Festival is on Tuesday, 8/7, beginning at 6:30pm. All are invited to bring their favorite blueberry treat to share and if you don't have time to make a treat, stop by anyway. There's always more than enough. The basement is cool, and the cobbler is fine.

A few words from Pastor Bill Barter on the merits of blueberries ---

Dear Friends,


Want to be healthier? Eat blueberries!

Blueberries are phytonutrient superstars. These fruits contain significant amounts of anthocyanadins, antioxidant compounds that give blue, purple and red colors to fruits and vegetables. In addition, blueberries also contain ellagic acid, another phytochemical that has been shown to prevent cell damage.Blueberries are a very good source of vitamin C, manganese, and both soluble and insoluble fiber like pectin. Blueberries are also a good source of vitamin E.

OK, the sugar in the blueberry desserts may be a problem, but come enjoy the fellowship anyway!


Pastor Bill Barter (who really does care about your health).
