Shrove Tuesday Pancakes N' More Dinner
Tuesday, Feb 17th | 6:00pm - 8:00pm
[object Object]
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!
RSVP is requested so that we ensure we have enough food.
Please CLICK HERE to RSVP.
We ask for a Love Offering. You can donate whatever your family feels comfortable giving. Contributions can be made by check (payable to Aldersgate UMC with "Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner" in the note) or cash on the evening of the event. All donations will go toward 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!
Youth who want to volunteer and have a great time are also asked to sign-up. Whether you can help at 4pm with setup and prep or join us at 6pm to cook and serve, we'd love your support!

Please bring a dish to share with 8-10 people that corresponds to the first letter of your last name:
A thru F — Dessert & Drink
G thru P — Main Dish
Q thru Z — Salad & Bread
If you have any questions, please reach out to Jesse St. Clair Smith- Children's Ministry Director, Judy Jurkowski - Wellness Coordinator, or Beth Bachmore - Day School Director.
