Shrove Tuesday Tonight!

Join us tonight for a traditional pancake dinner in order to kick off the season of Lent!  We'll be gathering at The Dancause Home (100 Hoyt St. #3C, Stamford) - dial 2001 to enter the building.

Why a pancake dinner?  Lent means "spring" - and marks the season when the harvest is soon to come.  Traditionally all of the winter supplies would be used up before the fasting season of Lent begins - and then after Easter the new harvest would arrive.  So, in an act of faith and community (plus a little bit of fun) we will indulge in pancakes and conversation.

Hope you can make it out!
