For me, Lent begins with Shrove Tuesday even though it really doesn't begin until Ash Wednesday. Tonight, folks will gather in church basements and fellowship halls, eat pancakes, drink coffee, and enjoy the communion of saints.
Why does it feel like the beginning of Lent? Because from now through Easter morning the schedule cranks up a couple of notches. Shrove Tuesday is a bit like Christmas Eve--not really Christmas but Christmas anyway.
I'll be helping with setup, serving, and clean up. And yes, I will eat my fair share of pancakes and sausages. Will you?
