Mark Richard donned the apron and flipped some serious pancakes. Mark said he thought he had a vision while looking at one of the flapjacks, but he ate the pancake so we are walking by faith on this one. Thanks for the cooking Mark!

Christopher of the Saint Stephen's Gathering created this beautiful clothespin cross. I will be writing a Gospel Reflection in the weeks ahead that these crosses inspired. Thank you Christopher and the whole St. Stephen's Gathering!


Here is a photo of a part of the gathering that enjoyed pancakes and friendship on Shrove Tuesday. I will be posting more photos in the coming days. Please check back to see them.
