WILLIAMS – St. John’s Episcopal-Lutheran Church in Williams held a successful Shrove Tuesday pancake dinner to kick off the season of Lent. There were problems with the electrical, but volunteers successfully maneuvered around the difficulty.

If you missed it, Shrove Tuesday will be on February 9 in 2016.

This leads to the first day of Lent known as Ash Wednesday. Today is a day of fasting for those who hold this season faithful. On this day there will be services for the faithful in which they will have an ash cross placed on their forehead. If your organization is holding a service for Ash Wednesday, make sure you get your ash in Church.
