Our annual 'Shrove Sunday' pancake went off with a flip and munch yesterday when we gathered in Stepney and enjoyed a variety of fillings from Mars Bars to banana and toffee sauce. Ken headed up the 'catering department' with some assistance from Jalal. Whilst enjoying one another's company we also discussed what we were going to 'give up for Lent' beginning this Wednesday. There were a variety of commitments from puddings, to favourite TV programmes to cigarettes! Our hope is that between now and Easter we will use the saved time to focus on what it means to be a follower of Jesus and put any saved money towards The Salvation Army's Self Denial Appeal.
