Shrove Tuesday 2/28 at 6pm

Come join us for our Shrove Tuesday Celebration this coming Tuesday February 28th at 6pm at Epworth United Methodist Church.

Also known as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, Shrove Tuesday is the last feast day before the 40 day long fast of Lent.  Traditionally on Shrove Tuesday, families would gather all of the rich foods they had - such as flour, butter, eggs, and sugar - to remove them from the house in preparation for the Lenten fast which begins on Ash Wednesday.  Families would then take these ingredients and prepare a great feast to celebrate the abundant blessings which God had given them.  This is why on the 28th when gather in the Fireside Fellowship Hall, we will be sharing the traditional feast of pancakes, eggs and sausage.  Shrove Tuesday is an evening to gather with friends and family and celebrate the blessings and abundance of God.  Come celebrate with us!!
