This Coming Week

Epiphany comes to an end on Tuesday at sundown and we will recognize it in our usual manner. That is, through the sung office of Evening Prayer [Evensong] and the "farewell to meat" [carnival] in a feast of pancakes and bacon and various meats designed to boost Pfizer's share prices.

On Tuesday:
Evensong at 6pm
Shrove Tuesday dinner at 6:30pm

On Ash Wednesday:
The proper liturgy for the day, including the imposition of the ashes, at 12:10pm and 7pm.

Also, if folks want to bring their palms from Palm Sunday, we will burn them on Tuesday night to make the ashes for Ash Wednesday. If you threw your palms away, oh dear.
