This month’s Grace Family night will be held on the second Wednesday of the month, February 11th at 6:30 pm. Our theme will be “Valentines.” Bring a picture of your sweetheart. CALLING ALL MEN! Pancake Supper: February 17th at 6 PM Get ‘em while they’re hot! It is traditional to prepare and eat pancakes for supper on the night before Ash Wednesday, which is known by many names, including Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, and Shrove Tuesday. The tradition is tied to the practice of using up stores of milk, butter, and eggs before Lenten fasting begins. Join us Tuesday, February 17 for our annual Pancake Supper, 6 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Relax, ladies, and let the gentlemen treat you to hot-offthe-grill pancakes, sausage and bacon, plus juice and coffee. MEN, a volunteer sign-up sheet will be posted on the bulletin board.
