Community Brunch

Nobody knew it would last this long when it started. Now North Broad has been hosting a quarterly community brunch for more than 25 years. This event is one small effort to help our neighborhood, but it’s also an act of faith and service for our members.

We prepare the food quarterly on the last Saturday in January, April, July, and October. The event is held from 10:00am to 11:00am. The brunch is a packed breakfast of sausage biscuits, fruit, juice, and coffee that we serve to any takers.
