Subject: Lenten reminders from Pastor
Joel
I'm sending a
quick reminder to all of you a day earlier than my usual edition of Midweek
Reminders. The reason is that tomorrow is Ash
Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, and I want to make sure that you are aware of
the special worship opportunities available for
you.
ASH WEDNESDAY WORSHIP,
FEBRUARY 21
- 12 noon,
followed by a potluck lunch to which you are also invited
- 7pm
~ Both services will include
hallmarks of Ash Wednesday worship: Imposition of Ashes and Holy
Communion.
SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE
FEED, FEBRUARY 20
That's tonight at
6pm. We'll have our own 'Fat Tuesday' (Mardi Gras in French)
with piles of steaming pancakes and various toppings for you to enjoy, along
with beverages.
Fat was one of the things people in past centuries
traditionally gave up during the season of Lent. That meant
all the fat in the house needed to be used up prior to Ash Wednesday.
Pancakes (or some local variation thereof) were a quick and inexpensive way to
do that.
We hope you and your
family will want to observe the beginning of Lent with your fellow believers
here at Redeemer. Together we follow the Lord, Jesus Christ, to his Cross
and Resurrection.
