PRETZEL SUNDAY
Pretzels are a popular snack year-round today, but they first became popular as a Lenten food for Christians in the seventh century. The word Pretzel is derived from a German word that means “little arms.” The twisted shape of pretzels is meant to resemble two arms crossed in prayer. Making Lent pretzels is a way to remember that Lent is a season of prayer.
Baking Lent pretzels is also an opportunity to share the true meaning behind a pretzel’s twist with children. Then every time they eat a pretzel, they can be reminded of the importance of prayer.

Please join us for Pretzel Sunday the Sunday before Lent. This year (2024) there were only a couple pretzels left after coffee time! Join us March 2, 2025 when the children learn the meaning and pretzel origins. We also have fun crafts and activities for the kids. A fun Sunday for all!
