Somehow or another, I'm told it started with an intention to "feed the hungry," we've ended up with a tradition of having Pancake Breakfasts during Lent. Each week a person or couple signs up to be the "coordinators" and they make sure that there are enough volunteers, plenty of food, and the coffee gets started really early! Others sign up to bring food or volunteers. As a team, pancakes and french toast, eggs, bacon, and sausage, are made, apple sause and drinks are served, and dishes get washed. The kitchen is always full of fun, and many people come to enjoy the good food and atmosphere.
This runs from the first Saturday after Ash Wednesday to the Saturday before Palm Sunday because, really, we don't want the Sanctuary to smell like pancakes on Easter. At least we're honest!
