Lent on MDI SHROVE TUESDAY SUPPER Please join together via Zoom for a shared meal on Shrove Tuesday, February 16 at 5:30 PM. Some will have traditional pancakes, others might choose jambalaya, some will want something else, or even nothing at all (just drop in to say hello)! We will join when we can during the allotted time, try to have a "room view" as we eat (so that no one is watching us chew too closely). We will close with a prayer about 6:50 p.m. and finish our conversations by 7:00 p.m. This is a fabulous opportunity to meet Mother Holly.
