Pancakes with strawberry jam
Shrove Tuesday is almost here. What does that mean? Pancake breakfast or dinners, and Mardi Gras are held the day before Ash Wednesday.
In early Christian Days the loyal observers of 40 days of Lent cleaned out their cupboards of flour, sugar, shortening and leavening in order to fast and to get all of their partying done before the Lenten Season. Churches and communities around the world have held pancake suppers, and pancake flipping races throughout their towns sometimes competing with cities across the globe. Liberal Kansas and a British Sister City have competed for years flipping pancakes in a skillet down city streets.
Tuesday, Feb 28, the Church of the Good Shepherd UMC will hold its annual All You Can Eat Pancake Supper, which is open to the public. This year the proceeds will be used for the Community Service projects they do throughout the year, one of which is College for Kids at CAC Aravaipa.
Join us from 5-7 p.m. Tickets are adults $5 and children $3. Members are selling tickets or you may purchase tickets at the door. You may have seen the notice in This and That for our sister church in Gold Canyon who is holding the same event. You won’t have to travel so far if you attend ours.
It is a great chance to see people in the community you have not seen in a while.
