2026 Shrove Sunday with Pancake Supper
and the Occasional Jazz Ensemble
Sunday, February 15, 2026
Join us for an evening of Mardi Gras fun starting at 6 p.m. with a savory traditional pancake supper with your St. John’s family in the undercroft, just before Lent begins.
Following the supper, head to the church for live entertainment at 7 p.m. by the Occasional Jazz Ensemble. They will treat us to a delightful mix of Chicago-styled Dixieland, Great American Songbook standard, and classic gospel tunes.
This event is free to the public, and a freewill offering will be collected for the Essex Community Oil Fund, which helps resource-challenged households to stay warm during the winter months.
