Coming! Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper and Food Drive

On Tuesday, February 13, the HTAC youth group will host our annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. This event is held on the evening prior to Ash Wednesday and is celebrated as a feast day before we enter the penitential season of Lent.

We will gather at 6:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall for feasting and fellowship.

If you can, please bring something to compliment the pancakes: cooked breakfast meats, fruit, pancake toppings, fruit juices - whatever seems good.

This year, we are partnering with Tri Lakes Cares to sponsor a special support drive to gather food, household and personal care items specifically lacking and needed on the shelves of the Market & Pantry. Details regarding the Food Drive for TLC are below.

Our youth group will be serving during the event, but they will need help. If you are willing and able to help setup, cooking and/or cleanup, please contact the Church Office.
