Community Pancake Supper

On Tuesday, February 21 at 6:15pm, the Parkwood United Methodist Men will be hosting a Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. Join us for fun, fellowship and Pancakes!

The day before Lent in the British Isles is called Shrove Tuesday. “Shrove” refers to the practice of going to Confession before Lent. Lent is a forty day season of self-denial before Easter. Meat, cheese, sugar, butter, eggs and fat were not eaten during Lent.

The Pancake suppers became a last opportunity to party before forty days of self-denial! Pancake races were held where women ran a course with a frying pan, throwing pancakes into the air and catching them in the pan a certain number of times. The custom is over 400 years old.
