Wednesday Community Dinners

Every Wednesday Evening -  September 6, 2023 - May 15, 2024.
Take-out dinners can be picked up between 4:30 and 5. 
Join us in the dining room between 5 and 6 pm.

Pentwater residents and people from surrounding communities are invited to enjoy our community dinner any Wednesday night. Come experience the culinary expertise of our volunteer cooks. The meal is homemade and served restaurant-style and always ends with delicious homemade desserts and good conversation. All kinds of people attend - those who need a meal, those seeking some social contact, families wanting to "eat out", volunteers who help and then eat, and even people looking for an opportunity to get out for an evening. Everyone is welcome! There is no charge for the dinner. We operate on free-will offerings.

To reserve a take-out dinner, please call 231-869-5900. We can accommodate some dietary requests, such as vegetarian or gluten-free if you let us know by 11 am Monday morning, by calling the office at 231-869-5900 or emailing us at pentwaterumc@gmail.com

Parking at Centenary UMC

The Centenary UMC building has been a fixture in downtown Pentwater since the 19th century, and as the town has grown around the building, there remains only street parking available. Centenary is located on the corner of Hancock St and 1st St, and it is appropriate to drop off persons either at the main entrance steps on Hancock St, or at the side door on 1st St, which is also the entrance for the elevator.
