Easter Pancake Breakfast at Niantic Community Church

The high school youth of Niantic Community Church will be hosting a come-and-go pancake breakfast on Easter morning, Sunday, April 5, from 6:30 to 11:15 a.m. in the dining hall of the church.

The homemade breakfast immediately follows the community’s Ecumenical Sunrise Easter Service at McCook Park which begins at 6 a.m. A free will donation is requested for each individual served and donations will go toward the youth summer mission trip to New Orleans. The menu includes homemade buttermilk pancakes and syrup, fruit, sausage, milk and juice.

An Easter labyrinth made up of beach stones and driftwood, will be constructed on McCook’s beach on Saturday, April 4 around noon, provided the snow has melted by then.

Volunteers are welcome and many hands are needed to build the labyrinth which is an ancient walking meditation. The seaside path will be left on the beach for public use and is a gift to the community by Niantic Community Church. The labyrinth is a nurturing faith activity of Parish Life Ministries.

An Easter Communion Service at the church following the sunrise service is offered at 7:30 a.m., 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m.. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Niantic Community Church is located at 170 Pennsylvania Avenue, Niantic, (860)739-6208.
