Contributions Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper The origin of Shrove Tuesday comes from the idea of - the night before Lent begins - consuming everything in the household from which one planned to abstain during Lent. We serve pancakes to connect us to the customs of a time when flour, eggs, milk, butter and other food items were all on the Lenten abstinence list. These days we celebrate the evening before Ash Wednesday more as a foretaste of the feast to come at Easter. Guidelines for Those Distributing Communion to Shut-Ins A few years ago our Worship and Music Committee sought ways to include in our worshipping community persons who could not attend worship. We decided to do two things. First we decided to deliver bulletins for each worship service to anyone who requested them. Volunteers do this each week. Second, we invite persons who would like Holy Communion brought to their homes during the worship service to call the Church office by Thursday and volunteers will deliver Communion to them. |
