Virtual Easter Egg Hunt
We are having a virtual Easter egg hunt this year, and we are inviting people to color eggs (real, paper, wood, candy, whatever) and hide them in a room. Take a picture of the room and send it to Jen at jennifer.e.mccabe@gmail.com along with the number of eggs hidden by 4:59 p.m. on Saturday, April 11.

The page with all the pictures will be up after Easter Vigil on Saturday night (because the Virtual Easter Bunny Jen has to do the work, yo!), so check the website around 9:30 p.m. Go hunt through the pictures and count the number you find. There will be a link to a form where you can submit your guess. Jen will let everyone know the winners on Sunday morning after church.

If you need a printable thing to color, this site has a bunch.

How to Give to St. Paul’s

Posted on by

You can mail your pledge/donation to:

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church
415 S. 18th St.
Mount Vernon, WA 98274

or…

The Episcopal Diocese of Olympia has put an option on their giving page to “give to a church”. To do this, click here and select Give to a church from the option in the “Giving Options” drop-down box. Enter St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in the “Designated Parish Name” box and Mount Vernon in the “Designated Parish City” box.

If this is confusing for you, here is a video that shows how to do it step-by-step:

Shrove Tuesday

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper

Suggested $8 donation per adult; $5 ages 4-12 — free to children 3 years old and younger

(10% of donations will be contributed to Family Promise)

Are You Ready to Get Your Shrove* On?

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Mount Vernon invites you to a pre-Lent tradition that involves pancakes for dinner — and what could possibly be wrong with that?

And not just pancakes, but sliced ham, bacon, fruit, a variety of toppings, and plenty of friendly neighbors. And coffee. Lots of coffee.

The Annual St. Paul’s Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner is open to one and all. We ask for your donation of $8 per adult and $5 for children ages 4 -12. Kids 3 years old and younger eat for free. Of course, if you really like the food or are just feeling generous, we will thankfully accept any additional donation. So bring the whole family! You won’t find food so good for so little on a Tuesday night in February in the entire Skagit Valley. We guarantee it!

10% of donations go to Family Promise to help keep the Gospel message alive and well in our community — so you’ll leave feeling satisfied in body and soul.

Popularly known in England and Commonwealth countries as Pancake Tuesday or Pancake Day, Shrove Tuesday is the last day of the liturgical season historically known as Shrovetide, and precedes the penitential season of Lent. Indulging in foods that one sacrifices for the upcoming forty days is associated with Shrove Tuesday celebrations — which is why we make our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner so darn good!

Did You Know? The term Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday”, referring to the practice of eating richer, fatty foods on the night before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which begins on Ash Wednesday. (Source: Wikipedia)
