CARNIVAL SUNDAY
FESTIVAL CHORAL EUCHARIST AND SERMON,
The Sunday before Ash Wednesday, 10:30 am.
Every year, God willing, our church celebrates Carnival Sunday at the 10:30 a.m. service on the Sunday before the start of Lent. It is an occasion for us to worship with great festivity in the spirit of the Mardi Gras and Caribbean Carnival traditions. You are encouraged to wear bright beads, funny hats, and festive clothing. Because of the pandemic, we were not meeting in person in 2021. In 2022, we met, but masks were not simply encouraged, they were required!
This joy-filled celebration of song, dance, word, and prayer has moments that are happy-clappy and others that are solemn, such as when we celebrate the Eucharist. We give thanks for the transforming power of God’s love in Christ. Four days later, with uplifted spirits, we embark upon the profoundly spiritual journey of Lent that begins on Ash Wednesday with services in 2022 on March 2 at 7:30am, Noon, and 7:30pm.

SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE (and more) SUPPER,
Last held on February 25, 2020.
The SsAM Vestry hosted our traditional Shrove Tuesday dinner in 2020, on the evening before Ash Wednesday. Take-out meals were available at 5:00 p.m.; seated dinner was from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. The meal of pancakes, chicken, and string beans was $15/person. Norwood Coleman’s jazz band provided music. The crew had such a good time preparing and serving that we ended the evening fantasizing about how we could make improvements next year.
