Pancake Tuesday

Pancake Tuesday and the Children’s Mardi Gras Parade will be held February 9. You are cordially invited to come join the celebration.  Serving begins at 6 p.m. Following the meal, the children will have their Mardi Gras parade around Wesley Hall. Children fifth grade and under are encouraged to decorate their bicycle, tricycle, wagon or other wheeled vehicle with streamers, balloons, beads, lights and banners to celebrate Fat Tuesday. Be sure and wear the masks you made during Wednesday evening activities. This is the last hurrah before Lent begins and is meant to be a celebration so come join the fun.
