The church is located on Reading Rd. (Route 625) a few miles south of Bowmansville.

Saturday, 9/13/08: Plan now to join us at the fabulous Mountain Springs Campgrounds in Shartlesville, Pennsylvania when the Mountain Folk Band performs for the  party at their 40th anniversary for the campgrounds.  You must make a two-day camping reservation in order to join the party, but then the bluegrass show and many other fun activities are free!
 
Some of you may know that the band performed at the campground's bi-annual and annual bluegrass festivals for more than 18 years back in the heyday of when festivals were being put on regularly at the campgrounds and East Side Dave himself served a dual role as musician and MC for those three-day festivals.  Proprietors Deb, Jim, Steve & Shane are taking over the reins of the campgrounds from father and mother Nelson and Tess and the family members have always been very good friends and supporters of bluegrass and folk music!  Everyone will have fun!
 
Space for camping will probably sell out for this event so be sure to book as early as possible.
