Events at St. Paul’s

  • Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner

    Join us on February 17th @ 6 pm!

    Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 17th for a Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the Dining Room and lower Fellowship Hall.

    What is Shrove Tuesday, you ask? Generally speaking, it’s a preparation day for Lent, but you’ll have to come to the dinner to find out the whole story! We’ll have pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit, and plenty of Lutheran coffee to wash it all down. There will also be some surprises and fun trivia for the kids!

    Suggested donation is $5-10 per person/$10-20 per family.

    Hope to see you there! 

  • Ash Wednesday and Wednesdays in Lent

    Lent begins this Wednesday, February 18. We will hold one Ash Wednesday service at 7:00 pm, including Holy Communion and the imposition of ashes.

    From February 25 through March 25, we will gather each Wednesday for Soup Suppers at 6:30 pm, followed by worship at 7:30 pm. (We will not meet during Holy Week.)

    On February 25, we will share a special prayer service.

    On all other Wednesdays, we will worship using Holden Evening Prayer.

    Whether you’re seeking connection, reflection, or simply a warm bowl of soup, there is a place for you at the table. If you’re able, please sign up to contribute to one of the weekly meals. Call the office for the link to sign-up genius (202.966.5489).
