Polka Worship 2025

This year’s Polka Worship, July 27, raised $1808 for the Geauga Hunger Task Force! Special thanks, as always, to the Chardon Polka Band for making this annual event so energetic and fun. Our worship planners put together a wonderful service, in which the Gospel was shared in a thought-provoking skit about The Good Samaritan. (Jake and the band might be able to pick up some acting gigs if this music business doesn’t work out. 😉 )

And it’s safe to say that no one went away hungry from our free picnic!
