Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper
Join us for pancakes hosted by the Men’s Society on Shrove Tuesday, February 25th in the Fellowship Hall from 5:30-7:00 p.m.; $5/family.
The name Shrove comes from the old word “shrive” which means to confess. In the Middle Ages, people would confess their sins on Shrove Tuesday to begin the penitent Lenten season with a clean slate!
Shrove Tuesday is a day of celebration as well as repentance. Lent is historically a time of giving things up, so Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to indulge. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs (significant, flavorful food groups which were forbidden during Lent).
