Announcements for February 15

Vestry Meeting
The vestry meets Monday, February 16, beginning with Evening Prayer at 7:00 PM in the church.

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper
The traditional Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper is Tuesday, February 17, beginning at 5:00 PM. Everyone is welcome. Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for children 12 and under, available at the door. Come enjoy pre-Lenten pancakes, bacon and sausage.

Calling All Kids: Help Bury the Alleluia
Another pre-Lenten tradition is the burying of the Alleluia (since we don’t say “Alleluia” during Lent). All children of the parish are specially invited to the pancake supper to help decorate and bury this year’s Alleluia.

Ash Wednesday Services
The imposition of ashes with Holy Communion will be offered at 6:30 AM, 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM on Ash Wednesday, February 18.

The Observance of a Holy Lent
Materials are available to help you observe the holy season of Lent. Look for the “Lent for Dummies” handout with information and suggestions. Several booklets and guides for daily reflection and devotion are also available on the information tables.

Wednesday Evening Class for Lent
This year the Wednesday evening Lenten class will study The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus’s Last Days in Jerusalem by Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan. The class will include presentations of the material in the book along with discussion. If you wish to read the material before class, please acquire your own copy of the book. Classes begin February 25 and meet in the church from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM.
