In
celebration of Mardi Gras at St. Mark's
Episcopal Church the Annual Shrove
Tuesday Pancake Supper will be
held, hosted by the men of St.
Mark's on Tuesday, February 17, 2026
from 5 to 7 p.m. at St. Mark's Mission
Hall.
This annual fund raiser is
held the night before Ash Wednesday to
open the Church's season of Lent.
This night is held to get all the fat
out of the house in preparation for
fasting and self-discipline during
Lent. The Episcopal Church, Roman
Catholics and many Protestant faiths,
observe the season of Lent with self
examination, self discipline, prayer,
fasting, meditation, sacrifice and
penance. Lent comes to an end
after the observances of Holy Week,
which culminates with the resurrection
celebration, on Easter Day. The
following day, February 18, Ash
Wednesday service will be held at noon.

you want to give, please fill one out and
put in the offering plate or give to Carole
Horne. You can also mail it to St.
Mark's, Box 838, Coleman, Texas 76834.
