Shrove Tuesday & Ash Wednesday Service:
Living Faith Lutheran has invited St. Hilda’s & St. Bart’s to their pancake/sausage supper on Tuesday March 4 at 5:30 pm. Following at 7 pm, there will be a short Ash Wednesday service.
They ask that you bring your own dishes (plates, cups/glasses, cutlery) and take them home to be washed. If you wish to attend, please sign up in the Narthex so they know approx. how many to prepare for.
If you are wondering why Ash Wednesday will be on Tuesday night, please read Hergy’s explanation below:
“Normally an Ash Wednesday service is held in the afternoon or evening on Wednesday, but since we are following the "Jewish understanding" of a new day beginning at sundown, we are holding the service the evening before (Tuesday by our calendar. . .but Wednesday by the Jewish calendar).”
