Pancake breakfast
The United Methodist Men’s Fellowship of First United Methodist Church of Punta Gorda, 507 W. Marion Ave., welcomes everyone to enjoy a pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. the second Saturday of each month. The next date is today. Fare includes all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage patties, eggs and applesauce. Coffee, decaf, tea and orange juice also are available. Attendees get all this for a “love offering” to the Men’s Fellowship; proceeds go to benefit its many ministries, ranging from food for the homeless to youth to foreign missions.
