Shrove Tuesday Celebration
Tuesday, February 17th
On Tuesday, February 17, 5-8 pm we will have an Intergenerational Celebration before Lent begins.
Long ago, Christians traditionally used up all the eggs and fat they had in store by making pancakes and feasting on them. This was because when Lent came, they would eat less food, or even fast (do without food sometimes) to help them focus on God and not on the things they wanted.
Shrove Tuesday is also time to remember we are forgiven (‘shrove’ is an old word for ‘seek forgiveness’) and to celebrate God’s goodness before we head into Lent.
We will be joining together to eat a traditional meal of pancakes. Pancakes, sausages, and drinks will be provided. Please bring a topping (fruit, syrup, whip cream, etc.) to go along with the pancakes.
Everyone of all ages are invited. Please RSVP to by email to or by speaking with church staff. A freewill offering will be taken to cover the cost of food and activities.
Please sign up as soon as possible so that we can plan accordingly
