Boarder Cluster Pancake Dinner, February 16, 2010

In place of the normal 5th Tuesday Dinner with the Border Cluster churches, First Christian Alamogordo will be hosting a Pancake Feast and Shrove Tuesday worship service. Ancient tradition prohibited eating milk, fat, eggs, or meat during Lent, so Christians used up whatever stores they might have the night before by making pancakes. Shrove Tuesday developed as a day of confession so that Christians could enter Lent with a clean heart.

Join them for a time of fellowship and worship:

First Christian Church
2300 23rd St.
Alamogordo, NM 88310

Pancake dinner to begin at 6:30 p.m.
Worship to begin about 7:30 p.m.
Feel free to arrive early for fellowship.

In place of a "pay at the door for dinner," a love offering will be taken during the worship service to defray the cost of the meal and support ongoing ministries.

Please email fccalamogordo@gmail.com or call (575) 551-1717 with expected numbers by February 15 so they can cook appropriately.
