Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner
Tuesday, February 21, 2012
Our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner, with live Jazz Music, will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.
Shrove comes from the English verb, “shrive,” which means to obtain
absolution for one’s sins by confessing and doing penance. We eat of
the “sweeter” foods as a reminder of the richness, before going into Lent.
Suggested free-will offering of $3.00 is asked to off-set the cost of the food! Invite a friend to join in the celebration.
During our pancake dinner the children of our church will be invited to
decorate our Alleluia banner. Following dinner, we will gather for a
brief service to bury the Alleluia and to burn our palms into ashes as
we prepare not only for Ash Wednesday, but for the Great Forty Days of
Lent when our Alleluias are put away.
