Indian Falls, New York, Global Methodist Church Holds 82nd Strawberry Social

By Gwen Posted Nov 3, 2026 at 6:40 AM

The Methodist church in Indian Falls hosted its annual Strawberry Social on Wednesday evening, marking the 82nd time the event has been held in the congregation’s 160-year history.

The gathering offered more than strawberries, shortcake and whipped cream. Guests could also buy chicken barbecue, hot dogs and beans, and bake sale items, and they took part in a live auction. Live music and plenty of socializing filled the evening.

The church, now known as Indian Falls Global Methodist Church, will hold an outdoor worship service on July 5. The service will be followed by backyard games, face painting, kickball and inflatables, a continued practice of open hospitality toward neighbors (Hebrews 13:16).
