The Mattapoisett Congregational Church’s annual pancake supper honors the Christian tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, when people use up rich foods like eggs, butter, and sugar, which will be given up during the Lenten fast. In some regions, Shrove Tuesday is known as “Fat Tuesday” (Mardi Gras) for the same reason. This is a day to indulge before the solemn period of penitence and abstinence during Lent, which begins the following day on Ash Wednesday.
All are welcome to attend on Tuesday, March 4 from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm, in Reynard Hall, 27 Church Street in Mattapoisett. Pancakes, sausage, toppings, and beverages will be served.
For more information, please call the church office Monday-Thursday 8:00 am to 1:00 pm at 508-758-2671.
Freewill offering will be accepted to support the ministry of Mattapoisett Congregational Church.
