Shrove Tuesday
Pancakes N' More Dinner | 6:00pm in Wesley Hall

It's almost that time of year. The time where we mindfully set aside our shared indulgent nature and ponder Christ's great gift of salvation. However, before we humbly walk that path, I have a question. To paraphrase the character Donkey from Shrek, you know what everybody likes? Pancakes!
On Shrove Tuesday, we invite you to satisfy your inner donkey and get some amazing breakfast for dinner, prepared and served by Team Aldersgate Youth. While you are dining on the finest carbs in the DMV, you can feel great knowing your generous donations will benefit both your immediate church family and our greater community. And did I mention the eggs and sausage? You just can't lose! So, please tell a friend, locate your stretchy pants, and mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 4 in Wesley Hall at 6:00. It's going to be a hoot--we'll save you a seat!
Please RSVP by March 2nd so we know how many folks will be joining us for dinner.
There is no set cost to attend this dinner. Rather, we will be taking Love Offerings that will go towards supporting the youth's chosen missions, including Alice's House, Christ House, Provision Kitchen, our various mission projects, and a much-needed Youth Room renovation! Contributions can be made by check (payable to Aldersgate UMC with "Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner" in the note) or by cash on the evening of the event.
For more information, please contact Bailey Johnson and Andreas Barrett at youth@aldersgate.net.

Shrove Tuesday
Tuesday, March 4th
Pancakes N' More Dinner | 6:00pm in Wesley Hall

As we look ahead to Lent, the Pancakes N’ More dinner promises to be a fun-filled evening of food and fellowship, strengthening the ties within our community, and reminding us of what matters most. The Aldersgate youth routinely reach into the world to provide love and support for those in need, and on February 13th we have another opportunity to stand up, reach out, and say yes to God’s call. This Shrove Tuesday, come be part of an evening that will last well beyond the last bite taken.
Please RSVP by February 11th so we know how many folks will be joining us for dinner.
There is no set cost to attend this dinner. Rather, we will be taking donations that will go to support our friends at Provision Church. Here’s who they are and why our partnership is so vital:
[At Provision Church, our mission is] a culinary entrepreneurship training program for individuals experiencing generational poverty in Northern Virginia. We believe in dreams and we believe in supporting the dreams of people whose dreams have been for too long deferred and unheard. We believe that we are called to a table that excludes no one and that, at that table, what happens is more than a meal. It's a movement.
Contributions can be made online through the Provision Church portal (www.provisionchurchnova.org/support), via Realm, by check, or in the form of cash. Donations can be made on the 13th, but also in advance. However you choose to give, please mark your payment as a gift to Provision Church, if appropriate (checks, envelopes stuffed with cash, Realm).
For more information, please contact Andreas Barrett.
