·       JOIN US FOR APPLE BUTTER WEEKEND! Pohick apple butter is world renowned (thanks to Jim Foster taking it everywhere when he was a United pilot). We will be making it again this September 18-20 with multiple times to join the fun. There are jobs for everyone including kids. Help is welcome anytime whether you can give an hour or an entire day. Times on Sunday afternoon are approximate as it all depends on the apples.

·             If you want to see it in full go to the Facebook video at https://www.facebook.com/PohickChurch/videos/1466839876764900/ Lots of faces that aren’t with us anymore and children who are now adults, but the process is still the same as is the fun and sense of community.

·             Any questions, please contact Kathy Kirkland at kkirkland2632@gmail.com 703-861-6177 and John Pasour at john.pasour@gmail.com
