Contribution and Virtual Offering Plate
We are thankful to parishioners who pledge and are mailing their checks directly to the Transfiguration office, or have set up auto payment from your bank. It is very helpful that we continue income at this time as we seek to create connections to each other and maintain parish life. If you are not a pledger at Transfig, please do use our ‘virtual offering plate’ on the front page of our website to make a contribution to our work as you are able.
Happy Birthday
Adelyn Banks on Sunday.

Pancake Tuesday / Carnival /
Mardi Gras/ Shrove Tuesday
Whatever you call it,
it’s a party!
|
Be sure to come and join us for a celebration on Tuesday February 16 at 6 pm
Our traditions on Shrove Tuesday include pancakes, fellowship with friends, burying the alleluias and getting the ashes ready for Ash Wednesday. It is always an evening of fun and celebration. This year we will carry on the tradition of celebration with a pancake cooking demonstration, pancake stories, a virtual alleluia burying, pancake trivia, some cool facts about where we get the ashes, and, of course, time with friends and family.
Friends from Transfiguration and Church of the Epiphany are invited to gather together on Zoom to celebrate, share memories of past pancake feasts and indulge in pancakes or whatever treat you decide to make at home.
To give you some inspiration we have put together some pancake recipes for you. These recipes come from various churches in our area and have been tried, tested and found to be delicious! Pancake Recipes pdf
Don’t forget to get out your Mardi Gras beads, put on your apron and get your skillet hot for a Pancake Tuesday celebration like no other!

The first part of our search process includes writing a parish profile, and in order to do that well, we need to get a sense of what the congregation believes are our current strengths and what vision we have for the future. We are very committed to listening to everyone who wants to share ideas and have been working hard to figure out the best way to do that despite pandemic restrictions. Please help us by filling out the following survey:
This is the first step in our listening process. We will be following up with opportunities for small group and individual conversations during coffee hours in February. Look for details and a schedule in upcoming announcements and Journey. Your thoughts matter to us!
