Local youth stand ready to serve at their Pancake Supper fundraiser at Good Shepherd

Don't miss the annual Shrove Tuesday pancake supper February 13 from 5 to 7 pm at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in Hayesville. Bring family and friends for the best pancakes and sausage in Western North Carolina and North Georgia. The melt-in-your-mouth pancakes (fresh eggs, buttermilk, butter, and special flour) are topped with warm maple syrup and accompanied by handmade sausages from Still Waters Landing on Fires Creek, plus apple sauce, apple or orange juice, coffee and tea. Gluten free pancakes and sugar free syrup are available on request.

Tickets (available at the door) are $7.00 for ages 12 and older, $3.00 for 11 and younger. All proceeds go to children and youth ministries. Your servers will be young folks from the interdenominational Order of Saint George weekly prayer breakfasts, with help from family and friends.

Shrove Tuesday honors the ancient tradition of eating pancakes on the day before Ash Wednesday in order to clear the larder of milk, fat, and meat. The word Shrove comes from the word “shrive” which means to be forgiven of our sins through confession.

Good Shepherd offers the penitential Imposition of Ashes and Holy Eucharist at noon on Ash Wednesday February 14th. All are welcome to join the many activities and services leading up to Holy Week and the celebration of Easter. Visit www.goodshepherdhayesville.org for more information. Good Shepherd is located at 495 Herbert Hills Drive, about one mile east of Walgreens Drugs on Hwy 64.
