Prayer and close (http://www.creighton.edu/CollaborativeMinistry/Lent/bulletin-inserts.html#MardiGras)

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,
for it is from your goodness that we have this day
to celebrate on the threshold of the Season of Lent.

 We thank you for the abundance of gifts you shower upon us.
We thank you especially for one another.
As we give you thanks,
we are mindful of those who have so much less than we do.
As we share these wonderful gifts together,
we commit ourselves to greater generosity toward those
who need our support.

Amen

A Story from Germany

Two women in a German town were baking a pancake, and when it was almost done they began to quarrel, because each one wanted the whole thing.

 

The one woman said, "I shall have the pancake!"

The other one replied, "No, I want all of it!"

Before they knew what was happening, the pancake suddenly grew feet, jumped out of the pan, and ran away.

 

He came to a fox, who said to him, "Pancake, pancake, where are you going?"

The pancake answered, "I ran away from two old women, and I shall run away from you as well!"

 

Then he met a hare. It too shouted, "Pancake, pancake, where are you going?"

The pancake answered, "I ran away from two old women, Reynard the Fox, and I shall run away from you as well.

 

The pancake ran on until he came to some water. A ship full of people was floating on the water. They too cried out to him, "Pancake, pancake, where are you going?"

Again he said, "I ran away from two old women, Reynard the Fox, Speedy the Hare, and I shall run away from you as well."

 

Then he came to a large pig. It too shouted to him, "Pancake, pancake, where are you going?"

"Oh," he said, "I ran away from two old women, Reynard the Fox, Speedy the Hare, a ship full of people, and I shall run away from you as well."

 

The pig said, "Pancake, I am hard of hearing. You'll have to say it into my ear!"

 

So the pancake went up close, and bam! bam! the pig snatched him and ate him up, and with that the story is ended.
