Kitchen Ministry

Each month, usually on the second Sunday, we hold a Community Dinner from 4:30 to 5:30. We offer both a pick-up and a sit-down option, with a chance to enjoy a meal with others in Fellowship Hall. There is no charge, though donations are welcome. You can register for the next meal coming up using the link on our homepage.

We also offer meals for the community through casseroles made in our kitchen and distributed at Phoenixville Area Community Services (PACS) each month.

Along with other churches in Phoenixville, we also provide dinner for residents at St. Mary’s Franciscan Shelter periodically throughout the year. On Thanksgiving Day we partner with the First Presbyterian Church of Phoenixville and with Meals on Wheels to prepare, distribute, and host holiday meals.

As our number of meals served continues to grow, we ask for your support in the following ways:

  • Volunteer to prepare and/or cook meals.

  • Check out the food list (below) and in the bulletin each week to see what is needed. Purchase item(s) and place in the red barrel located in the FUMC bell tower.

  • Purchase gift cards through our Scrip Program. The purchase of gift cards helps to provide us with income to buy much needed items to prepare our meals.
