Shrove Tuesday set to be observed

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church will hold a Shrove Tuesday pancake supper from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 20, at First and Marin streets, in the parish hall.

Shrove Tuesday, also known as Fat Tuesday, is the last day of Marti Gras, the pre-Lenten festival.

Lent is the period of fasting and penitence observed by Episcopal and other churches, preceding Easter. The Wednesday following Shove Tuesday is Ash Wednesday.

Pancakes, fruit juice and coffee will be served.
The public is invited.

Information is available from Terri Jamison, recently elected senior warden, at 385-1115.

The Ash Wednesday service will begin at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 21.
