Join us at St. Andrew's United Church in Mission on Tuesday, February 28th, from 5:00 to 6:30 pm, for a Pancake Supper to celebrate Shrove Tuesday. Admission is by donation and all proceeds will be given to the Mission Central School Breakfast Club program. Come and share a delicious pancake & sausage supper with us as well as conversation and fellowship. All are welcome!
Shrove Tuesday is the day immediately preceeding Ash Wednesday (the beginning of Lent). It was originally a solemn day but over the centuries, in anticipation of the Lenten fast that would begin the next day, Shrove Tuesday took on a festive nature. That is why Shrove Tuesday is also known as "Fat Tuesday" or "Mardi Gras" (which is simply French for Fat Tuesday).
(St. Andrew's is located at 33077 Second Ave. (corner of James & 2nd) in Mission and the dinner will be held in the downstairs hall - entrance off 2nd Ave.)
