It’s been a long time coming! Our United Methodist Men’s group will be hosting a Shrove 
Tuesday Pancake Supper. Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday which begins the church season of Lent. Celebrating Shrove Tuesday is a long standing tradition in the Church. The word shrove comes from the root word shrive which in earlier times meant to confess. Lent is a season of penitence; so, this idea makes sense in that regard. Other names for Shrove Tuesday are Fat Tuesday and Pancake Day (Tuesday). On this day the last of all fats is to be used for cooking since it will not be used during Lent. You can find more information about Shrove Tuesday (or whatever you want to call it) here.

Your donation of any size will cover you and/or your family. The men are raising funds to help support future community projects in Irving. They’ll be preparing pancakes and sausage for everyone to enjoy. We would love to have you join us for a good time and in so doing be a part of our outreach work.
The only people that cannot come are those who haven’t heard about what we’re doing. So, let’s help each other give an invitation to someone new today! We’ll see you there.
