“Fat Tuesday” Pancake Dinner

Central United Methodist Church

Central United Methodist Church will be holding their annual “Fat Tuesday” Pancake Dinner on Tuesday, February 12th from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. Pancakes, sausage and a beverage will be served with a freewill offering.

“Fat Tuesday” is a day people prepared and feasted on special foods in order to use up all the things in the household which were “forbidden” to be eaten until Lent came to an end at Easter. Different cultures around the world have their own special food treats which are traditionally served on this day. In English-speaking countries the most common foods for the celebration are pancakes and donuts. Many towns in England, and some in this country, still hold annual Pancake
Races on Fat Tuesday where housewives run a course through town or between villages while flipping pancakes in the air from a skillet.

Will there be Pancake Races at Central United Methodist Church??? Probably not races, but you never know what might happen in the crazy cooks. Please join us and see what may happen.

All proceeds go to support the Team HOPE’s Mission Trip in April to New York to assist with Hurricane Sandy relief.

Team HOPE has worked on disaster recovery at Parkersburg, Cedar Rapids, Colfax, Oakville, and rural southwest Iowa; along with disaster recovery trips to New Orleans, Louisiana, Port Arthur, Texas, Friendsville, Texas, Waverly, Tennessee, and Joplin, Missouri.
