What a beautiful day for an “English Tea” – Sunday, January 30, on Amelia Island, FL was a sun filled, fun filled day with glorious blue skies and 70 degree temperatures.

In this Southern resort community, over 100 ladies dressed in their finest, with hats and gloves ventured out for an afternoon of food, fun, conversation, music, and fellowship.  Each table was decorated uniquely by a member of the Partin Circle of the Memorial United Methodist Church in Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach, FL.

The table decorations were as original and unique as you could possibly imagine.  The food was out of this world and hand made by the Partin Angels.  Various teas, scones, sandwiches, and a variety of homemade sweets filled the room with scents of cookies baking in your kitchen.

The proceeds from this First Annual English Tea are going to our local Barnabas Center, Safe Harbor, and other mission endeavors.

Keep your eyes open for the next English Tea.  You will not want to miss it.  To read more about English Teas enjoyed in many different countries you visit Wikipedia’s interesting entry about the topic.
