One of First Presbyterian Church's most significant ministries is our Saturday morning Breakfast Outreach Program.  We have been serving a hot and delicious breakfast on Saturday mornings to people in our community, free of charge, for ten years!  The need is great in our community, and we serve anywhere from 90 to 150 guests each and every week! 

It is a great privilege to respond to the call of Jesus, and to serve our community in this way.  We are mindful that God has blessed us exceedingly, and so this is one way in which we bless others through what God has given us.

It takes a large number of volunteers to pull off a breakfast for over 100 people every week!  To that end, we are blessed with four cooking teams (each with their own special menu!) that take turns each month preparing the breakfast which our guests get to enjoy.

There are also many set-up, server, kitchen and clean-up teams that work together to make sure the breakfast runs smoothly, and as many guests as possible can eat easily and comfortably.

This is a great ministry to serve in as a member of First Church. As well, we are blessed by the help of volunteers from many churches in Chatham.   In fact, one of our cooking teams is from Thames Christian Fellowship. We are thankful to be helped by so many people in our community who joyfully serve at our Outreach Breakfast.  The Breakfast Outreach is a great way for teenagers to learn the value of service, and earn hours toward their community service requirements for high school graduation. 

We can always use the help of more volunteers.  Should you be interested in helping out in this ministry, please call the office at (519) 352-2313, and you will be directed to the proper contacts.
