Fat Tuesday Pancake Supper Update!
The Fat Tuesday Pancake Supper Community Event raised more than $1,300 to support youth ministries. The Confirmation youth chose to designate the tithe to support PADS Homeless Shelter. In addition, more than a shopping cart full of food was donated to the First Presbyterian Micropantry ministry. Thank you for sharing the word about the supper and your generosity that allows us to minister in Christ’s name. Thank you to the volunteers young and old and in between who made the event possible.
