The Parish House of Abingdon Episcopal Church at White Marsh took on the feel of New Orleans Tuesday night as the church held a Mardi Gras celebration and Shrove Tuesday pancake dinner. Guests donned beads and masks as the sounds of jazz music filled the air … and the dinner ended with pieces of King Cake for all. A silent auction was held to raise funds for Abingdon’s outreach program. Among those taking part in the Mardi Gras fun were, in upper left photo, the Rev. Sven vanBaars and Ty Byrne; in upper right photo, Mary and David Peebles, and, in bottom photo from left, Chris Naquin, Barbara Naquin, Jack Hull, Nancy Moffitt and June James.
