SHROVE TUESDAY
Our Lenten and Holy Season activities begin with a celebration of Shrove Tuesday. The Progressive Adults Ministry hosts a Sunday Brunch on February 15 after the worship service. Shrove Tuesday, on February 17, is the feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. A pancake supper has been a Nineteenth Street tradition for more than 30 years. All attending the Sunday worship service are invited to partake.
