BRIDGTON — The First Congregational Church of Bridgton, 33 South High St., will celebrate 26 years of hosting its elaborate Strawberry Breakfast from 7:30 to 10 a.m. Saturday, June 29.
Everyone is invited to attend the breakfast; indoor and outdoor seating will be available (weather permitting). There is plenty of free parking, and the church is handicapped-accessible.
You won’t want to miss this summertime tradition. Bring family and friends to feast on a breakfast of pancakes and French toast with maple syrup, strawberry shortcake, sausage, juice and coffee. Fresh local strawberries and mounds of freshly whipped cream will be in abundance. The cost for adults is $7.50; children ages 10 to 16 $5; children four to 10 years, $2.50; and “youngins” under four are free. Tickets can be purchased at the door.
“Nothing beats the taste of just-picked strawberries,” said Kim Howlett-Phillips, chairperson for the event. “It’s a great way to enjoy the first taste of summer with your friends and neighbors.”
This long-running event is one of the church’s most popular fundraisers and supports the Bridgton community with programs like Jeanette’s Closet, where families in need can find no-cost clothing, and the “Adopt-a-Child” Christmas program providing Christmas gifts to more than 150 children in Bridgton each year.
For more information please text Kim Howlett-Phillips at 508-717-5224, email kann1856@gmail.com, or call the church office at 207-647-3936.
The First Congregational Church, under the direction of the Rev. Emily C. Goodnow, is an open and affirming church welcoming everyone. Summer Sunday services are held at 9 a.m., and childcare is available. For more information visit www.bridgtonucc.com.
