Pancakes and Easter?

Our PANCAKE (MARDI GRAS) SUPPER was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who came! Although this is a fund raiser for the youth summer mission trip (cost being $5 for 11 yrs and older, $3 for 10 yrs and younger), it is a traditional part of the spiritual journey toward Easter.

New Orleans is not the birth place of “Mardi Gras” … the church is! In many countries, the last day before Lent (called Mardi Gras, Shrove Tuesday, Carnival, or Fasching) has become a last fling before the serious and solemn season of Lent. For centuries, it was customary to fast by abstaining from meat during Lent, which is why some people call the festival Carnival, which is Latin for farewell to meat.

Lent is a forty-day period before Easter. The forty days remind us of Jesus time of soul searching in the wilderness. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, which is tomorrow. We skip Sundays when we count the forty days, because Sundays commemorate the Resurrection. So, Lent this year, begins on February 17 and ends on April 3 , which is the day before Easter. “Mardi Gras” or Fat Tuesday, is the day before Lent begins. Pancakes became the customary way to use up the “fat” in the house so it would not be a temptation for the forty days of Lent!

Please come and worship with us this Sunday!
