Pancake supper to benefit junior high students

Feb 13, 2017

Feb. 28 is Shrove Tuesday, the last day before the Lenten season begins, and the day when the Mattapoisett Congregational Church traditionally hosts its pancake supper.

This year members of the choir and Old Rochester Regional Junior High School students will serve the piping hot pancakes beginning at 5:30 p.m. There will also be sausage, special toppings, desserts and drinks.

The Church Council agreed to donate 100 percent of the proceeds to junior high students who will soon embark on a school-sponsored trip called “The Holocaust Tour.”

Approximately 25 kids and chaperones will visit the Netherlands, Germany and Poland as they study the “greatest crimes against humanity,” which is part of the English curriculum.

A “free will” offering will be collected. The event will be held in the church’s Reynard Hall. All are welcome.
