St. Mark's Church hosts community to celebrate Fat Tuesday
An area church invited the public to splurge for Mardi Gras before Lent.
St. Mark's served up breakfast items such as traditional cuisine for the holiday to get in any last minute cravings before Ash Wednesday.

Dozens of people arrived to keep the party going and let the community come together with the church's hospitality.
While the holiday before Lent is about cutting loose, pastor Sarah Raymond told us the true meaning of sacrificing certain items.

'Lent is just really a time of contemplation and thinking about the ways we have really fallen short of who god created us to be and how we can live more full to be those people,' said Raymond.
St. Mark's will have an Ash Wednesday service at 7:00 p.m.
