It takes more than 100 volunteers and donations from most of the church members to make a successful event each year. Imagine the fellowship and fun of those involved in putting on this very special and profitable effort each time and picture yourself helping in one of the following ways. |

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, UCC, MENDON ILLINOIS
At our August 24th service, a visiting and excited couple was anxious to share their JOY with our church family. Paul and Glenna Mealiff were here from the First Congregational Church, UCC in Mendon.

The Mealiffs wanted to see and worship in the very place from which their church originated. |
