Shrove Tuesday is February 13. Please join us for a scrumptious pancake supper (including sausage, bacon, and fruit) beginning at 6 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room. Pancakes will be flipped until about 7:30 p.m. Why pancakes, you may ask? Pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent because they were a way to use up rich foods such as eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent. The is a wonderful fellowship opportunity and a chance to get to know other church members over a shared meal. If you can help set up or clean up, let us know on the sign-up sheet, also. More pancake flippers needed, too. Please email Cindy in the Church Office, cdrennan@stjohns-es.org.

Ash Wednesday Services On February 14. St. John’s will have two Ash Wednesday services on February 14. Plan to be with your church family either at Noon or 7 p.m. for Holy Eucharist and Imposition of Ashes. The St. John’s choir will join us for the evening service.
