EMC members donned masks, beads and more in honor of our annual Mardis Gras event. We celebrated both during and after Sunday worship with a parade, a pancake breakfast, lively music by our choir and the DixieCats (including our own Gary Lundgren on trombone), plus Mardis Gras-themed decor. This day of merry-making precedes the beginning of Lent, held this week on Ash Wednesday.
