Glen Moore United Methodist Church (GUMC) will present its first antique and classic car show on Saturday, Oct. 1, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. All types of pre-1990s vehicles are welcome.

Those who would like to take part in the show should arrive between 9 and 10 a.m. Vehicle owners will be asked to pay a registration fee. There will be no charge for spectators. In addition to the display of cars, there will be music, food and games, including cornhole.

Vehicles will be parked in the church parking lot and the grassy field next to the church. Parking for spectators will be available at Wagenseller Park, which is located next to the church.

Prizes will be awarded for Best in Show, Best in Class, Pastor's Choice and People's Choice. DJ Rick Barringer will play music from the '50s, '60s and '70s.

The church will also be open that day for tours. "We will have John Miller, historian, who will talk about the church," said pastor Dan Hepner. "It is 149 years old; we will celebrate our 150th year in 2023. There is a lot of history here."

According to Hepner, proceeds from car registration fees will be used for the church's roof funding project. "There is a brand-new roof on this church. Every penny will go to paying back the debt," he noted.

Hepner was appointed GUMC pastor in the summer of 2021. He also continues to work part time at Hopewell United Methodist Church (UMC) in Downingtown. "It's called a two-point charge," he explained. "I am liaison to men's ministries at Hopewell and the lead pastor at Glen Moore." While at Hopewell, Hepner held 12 car shows, but this is the first one being offered at GUMC.

Ensuring that the church received a new roof was the pastor's latest project. "Our energy continues to grow and expand here with more community outreach planned, more youth activity, children's programming and enhanced Sunday worship activities for everyone," he stated.

GUMC is located at 1920 Creek Road, Glenmoore. For more information or to register for the car show, call 610-942-2324 or visit http://www.glenmooreumc.org or http://www.facebook.com/glenmooreumc.
