It’s a “Shrove Tuesday” pancake breakfast, but not on Tuesday—instead, it’s on the Sunday before the start of the Lenten season.

The breakfast is Sunday, March 6 in the church undercroft from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tickets will be on sale at church on Feb. 27. Cost is $7 for adults and $3 for children.

The menu is all-you-can-eat pancakes and sausage.

Temporary Website Online

We’re working on a new website right now. Things are a bit dusty and disorganized for the time being, so please forgive some of the disarray as we clear away the cobwebs and unpack some of our boxes.
