Fat Tuesday Pancake Breakfast

On Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent, Nancy and many members of the Win Our World service ministry held a pancake dinner at St. John's Lutheran. The pancake dinner dates way back in time, as people prepared for Lent by using up many of the ingredients that they were giving up during the 40 days before Easter. Putting on the dinner is a combined effort of the youth and many parents, who cook the pancakes on a big grill. The youth and children serve as the waiters, and many different varieties of pancakes were offered, including chocolate chip, blueberry and sweet potato.
