2015 Church Picnic

First United Methodist Church - Elkin, NC


Mark your calendar! The annual church picnic at Phyllis Qualheim’s mountain home is going to be held on Sunday, August 30. Relax as we marvel at the incredible long-range view. It’s just a short 30 minute drive. 

We will eat around 5:30-6:00pm. Feel free to come any time after lunch to swim in the lake with the kids or watch them play on the beach area. Just bring a simple covered dish. Tea and paper products will be provided. 

Please bring folding chairs, blankets, etc. to sit on. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
