Shrove Sunday Breakfast, February 19, 9:00 AM: Pancake Day, Fasnacht (Donut) Day, Shrove Tuesday – all of these are the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent – the 40 days leading up to Easter – was traditionally a time of fasting. Shrove Tuesday was the last opportunity to use up sugars and fats before embarking on the Lenten fast and pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients. We will celebrate with pancakes, bacon, and sausage before our Lenten fast begins. Come hungry!

Ash Wednesday, February 22 services at Noon and 7:30 PM with the Imposition of Ashes.
