There is a little change in Bible study today. Instead of meeting at my house, we’re going to meet at the church at 7:00 pm. I also want to invite all of you to come to the church at 6:00 pm for pancakes.
In case you don’t know, today is Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday ('shrove' stems from the old English word 'shrive', meaning 'confess all sins') is the day before Lent.
Lent commemorates Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness, and it is Christian tradition to mark this period by fasting. So Shrove Tuesday was cleverly invented to use up the ingredients that were given up for Lent - milk, butter and, particularly, eggs - which may not be eaten again until Easter.
So, come to the church at 6:00 pm to participate in Shrove Tuesday.
