New
O rlean s
celebrates Mardi Gras, in
some places it is known as
Fat Tuesday, and here in
H eppner, at All S aints
Episcopal Church, it is the
Shrove Tuesday pancake
feed.
E veryone
is
w elcom e to jo in the
E piscopalians and Hope
Lutherans as they again put
on the annual pancake feed
on Tuesday, February 20,
from 5 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.
at the Episcopal Parish Hall.
P rices are $4 for
adults, $3 for children under
12, and $14 for a family.
Fat T uesday is
know n as the tim e to
indulge, so all are invited to
eat as many pancakes, and as
much ham and fruit as they
like.
Shrove Tuesday
came from the old English
word “shrive,” meaning to
fo rg iv e. The v en erab le
custom of a pancake supper
is p rep aratio n for Ash
Wednesday and the 40 days
of Lent when many choose
to exercise d iscipline in
preparation for "rebirth” at
Easter. During the 40 days
o f Lent, som e lim it
indulgences during that time,
while others correct bad
habits, or give extra time
doing something for others.
It’s a p erso n al
ch o ice,
o b serv ed
by
churches and individuals in
different ways. One might
call Lent "spring training" as
one gets in shape to be a
spiritual athlete for an Easter
homerun.
“ We in v ite the
com m unity to com e for
pancakes, fellowship, and to
welcome the new Episcopal/
L utheran P riest Jan is

spokesperson.
