Women of Bethel UCC to host annual Spring Tea April 13
On Saturday, April 13, the Women of Bethel, of Bethel United Church of Christ, will hold their 21st annual Spring Tea at 12:30 p.m. in the church's Welcome Center, 315 E. St. Charles Road in Elmhurst.
The event features a full-tea menu in an elegant setting followed by dramatic book reviewer Jenny Riddle's one-woman show, "Catherine the Great."
In her presentations, Riddle motivates, educates, and entertains audiences with her unique interpretations of best-selling books in which she becomes the characters telling their real-life stories. For more than 15 years, Riddle has been delighting audiences with her captivating style of storytelling. At the end of each review, she also shares her current "favorite reads."
Tickets, available beginning March 11, are $25 per person and must be purchased no later than April 5. Seating is limited. Tickets for the program only (without tea) are $10 at the door. The program begins at 1:45 p.m. Call (630) 834-6254 for ticket availability and information. Spring Tea guests are invited to wear hats.
Church facilities are fully accessible and parking is available behind the church. Please enter from St. Charles Road or from Huntington Lane off Poplar.
A portion of the proceeds from the Spring Tea helps support the Elmhurst Shoe Fund, a Women of Bethel-administered program which so far in the 2018-19 school year has provided over $2,085 in vouchers to 22 families in Elmhurst schools to purchase footwear for their children.
The Rotary Club of Elmhurst and First United Methodist Church are also major contributors.
A number of other local churches, service clubs and individuals also give to the Elmhurst Shoe Fund.
