Mardi Gras Themed Dinner Church

Tuesday, February 17, 2026 , 6 p.m.

The February Dinner Church will move to the Tuesday before Lent Begins.  This Tuesday, known as Shrove Tuesday, comes for an Old English word “shrive” – to confess one’s sins.  Cultures around the world observe the beginning of Lent in a variety of ways, including celebrations like Mardi Gras.  Since the use of eggs and butter were prohibited for many in Lent, pancake dinners were a way to use up these items before Lent began.  The February Dinner church will be a pancake supper, decorated for Mardi Gras, focusing on preparing for Lent.   It is an age-inclusive experience, designed to bring everyone—from children to adults—into meaningful worship.
