Pancake Supper
February 17
Join us on Tuesday, February 17 for our annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. Pancakes will be served starting at 6:00 pm by our youth. All proceeds will benefit the youth. FYI... The word shrove is the past tense of the English verb shrive, which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by way of Confession and doing penance. Thus Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the custom for Christians to be "shriven" before the start of Lent. Pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent because they were a way to use up rich foods such as eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent. The liturgical fasting emphasized eating plainer food and refraining from food that would give pleasure.
The burning of the palms will be at around 7:00 pm. (The palm ashes are then used for our Ash Wednesday Service)
