Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner:
Come have pancakes for dinner at church on Tuesday, February 16, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in Parish Hall. Pancakes, bacon, sausage and fruit will be served. $5/adult, $3/child with a $15 max per family.
Invite your friends or family to come and enjoy an fun evening out at PACC. Let us do the cooking for them. We'll have a Mardi Gras craft project for the kids.
Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday and traditionally is the day when fats and oils are used up before the simpler days of Lent.

Ash Wednesday Service:
Our Ash Wednesday service will be February 17 at 7:30 p.m. It will include hymns, prayers, scripture readings, a brief meditation, and the “imposition of ashes” for those who wish. Traditionally, the ashes used in the service are made from palm leaves from last Palm Sunday which are burned, crushed, and mixed with olive oil. The ashes have a twofold meaning: a visible “confession” of our need for forgiveness, as in “sackcloth and ashes,” and the recognition of our mortal and finite nature as human beings, as in “ashes to ashes and dust to dust.” We hope you will join us for this time of reflection.
