On Saturday June 13th and Sunday, June 14th The Little Red Church on Bowen Island will once again host its annual Strawberry Tea. Along with fabulous strawberry shortcake, delicious sandwiches and goodies, the tea features live music, a BBQ, baking, berries for sale, a treasure table and a silent auction. Please come and enjoy the hospitality of Bowen Island’s Little Red Church in the Apple Orchard. The tea begins at 10 a.m Saturday and runs until 4 p.m. It opens again on Sunday at noon and finishes up at 4 p.m. Come out to bid on auction items, have a tasty treat, take something home from the baking table, visit with new and old friends and listen to music. Lynn Williams, Bowen’s beloved and the Minister of Music at the Little Red Church says, “I love the Strawberry Tea because it brings together all my friends young and old; those I see regularly and those I see occasionally. I get to serve them, eat with them and laugh with them. What could be better?”
Three wonderful raffle items will also be on display at the tea and tickets are available for pre-sale at Snug Cover General Store on June 6th and 7th. There will be a “Tea Basket” with tea cups, a teapot, and other tea related goodies, a “Wine and Cheese Basket” and a beautiful handmade birdhouse..
If you are new to Bowen or have been here since the first sailing, Bowen Island United Church warmly welcomes you and will look forward to seeing many friends, family and neighbours on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14. For many islanders, this tea marks the beginning of summer and the air is filled with a spirit of celebration and delight.
