FEBRUARY IS NATIONAL CHILDREN’S<br />

DENTAL HEALTH MONTH<br />

The American Dental Association, along with the ADA Foundation, is<br />

pleased to provide you with the <strong>February</strong> <strong>2017</strong> National Children’s Dental<br />

Health Month (NCDHM) slogan, “Choose Tap Water for a Sparkling Smile.”<br />

This month-long national health observance brings together thousands<br />

of dedicated dental professionals, healthcare providers and educators<br />

to promote the benefits of good oral health to children, their caregivers,<br />

teachers and many others.<br />

Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental<br />

visits helps children to get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and<br />

gums. To access free online resources that can help you with teaching<br />

CHILDREN’S ORAL CARE<br />

Take good care of your child’s baby teeth. They do eventually fall out<br />

but until they do, baby teeth play an important role in helping your child<br />

bite and chew food, and speak clearly. Many of the same treatment and<br />

evaluation options that adults have are also available to kids. These<br />

include X-rays, dental sealants, orthodontic treatment and more.<br />

WIGGLY TEETH - When a child is about 6 years old, his/her teeth will<br />

begin to come loose. Let your child wiggle the tooth until it falls out on its<br />

own. This will minimize the pain and bleeding associate with a lost tooth.<br />

CAVITIES - Cavities can develop when sugar-containing foods are<br />

allowed to stay in the mouth for a long time. Bacteria that live on the<br />

teeth feast on these bits of food and can eat away at tooth enamel.<br />

Saliva washes away the acid between meals, but if your child is always<br />

eating, there may not be time for this acid to get washed away.<br />

FREE! SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE DINNER<br />

Take a break from cooking dinner on Tuesday, <strong>February</strong> 28 th ! Join us at<br />

Epiphany Lutheran Church for our Annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner.<br />

Dinner is served from 5-7 PM. Enjoy some Mardi Gras music while you eat<br />

dinner! Children will create an Alleluia Banner, Mardi-Gras masks and Crowns<br />

and end the evening with a Parade and sing-a-long as we bury our Alleluias<br />

in preparation for Lent. Shrove Tuesday is a day of celebration as well as<br />

penitence, because it’s the last day before Lent. Lent is a time of abstinence,<br />

of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday came about as the last chance to<br />

indulge yourself and to use up the foods that weren’t allowed in Lent. Giving<br />

up foods: but not wasting them. In the old days there were many foods that<br />

observant Christians would not eat during Lent: foods such as meat and fish,<br />

fats, eggs and milky foods. So that no food was wasted, families would have<br />

OPEN SPRING <strong>2017</strong><br />

a feast on the shriving Tuesday and eat up all the foods that wouldn’t last<br />

the forty days of Lent without spoiling. The need to eat up the fats gave rise<br />

to the French name Mardi Gras; meaning fat Tuesday. Pancakes became<br />

associated with Shrove Tuesday as they were a dish that could use up all the<br />

eggs, fats and milk in the house with just the addition of flour.<br />

ST. CUTHBERT EPISCOPAL CHURCH<br />

17020 West Road • www.stcuthbert.org<br />

You are invited to St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church’s Shrove Tuesday Pancake<br />

Supper on <strong>February</strong> 28 th from 5:30-7 PM. We will eat pancakes and play<br />

bingo! Shrove Tuesday originated during the Middle Ages. Food items like<br />

meats, fats, eggs, milk and fish were regarded as restricted during Lent. To<br />

keep such food from being wasted, many families would have big feasts<br />

on Shrove Tuesday. The English tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove<br />

Tuesday came about as a way to use as much milk, fats and eggs as possible<br />

before Ash Wednesday began. In France, the consumption of all fats and<br />

fatty foods on this day coined the name “Fat Tuesday” or Mardi Gras.<br />

You are also invited to the Ash Wednesday services at St. Cuthbert<br />

Episcopal church on March 1 st at 6:30 AM, 4:30 PM and 7 PM. All services<br />

have Holy Communion and the imposition of ashes. The 4:30 PM service<br />

is designed for children and their families. Ash Wednesday marks the<br />

beginning of the season of Lent, which is dedicated to reflection, prayer<br />

and fasting in preparation for Easter.<br />

Lenten Study: Forty Days in the Force<br />

Join St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church on Wednesday nights March 8 th<br />

through April 5 th , from 6:30-7:30 PM for our Lenten series, Forty Days in<br />

the Force. All ages are invited to participate. We will explore the many<br />

spiritual themes that weave throughout the Star Wars films. From the<br />

Force to the dark side, the issues presented in the films have a moral and<br />

spiritual complexity that, if paid attention to, can help us better understand<br />

our place in the world and our relation to others and to God. Through<br />

Forty Days in the Force we hope to see the challenges and victories in our<br />

everyday Christian life. There will always be a teacher and a student and<br />

there will always be evil, but thanks to God and his Son, there will always<br />

be good and we will always have a purpose. Nursery will be provided for<br />

infants and toddlers. Star Wars activities will be provided for preschoolers.<br />

Those ages 6 through 106 will explore the force together.<br />

STEPS FOR STUDENTS: A 5K RUN/WALK<br />

Are you a runner who enjoys family-friendly races? Are you an alumnus of<br />

a parochial school? Do your children, grandchildren or children of friends<br />

attend a parochial school? Do you like to have fun with 10,000+ plus<br />

people? If you answered yes to any of these questions or even if you didn’t,<br />

the <strong>2017</strong> Steps for Students 5k Race/Walk is for you. Steps for Students<br />

is a 5k USA Track and Field Association sanctioned race which benefits<br />

Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Held every<br />

year in <strong>February</strong>, Steps for Students has grown to include over 10,000<br />

participants, filling the streets around the Co-Cathedral with runners,<br />

walkers, families, kids and adults. Each Catholic school in the Archdiocese<br />

has its own team which you can join or donate to. Race Day begins with a<br />

sunrise Mass at the Co-Cathedral followed by the race itself. In <strong>2017</strong>, the<br />

race will take a new, East-West direction under I69, but it will still begin<br />

and end at the Co-Cathedral. Afterward, you can enjoy the Post Race Party<br />

in the nearby Race Day Village. All donations and registration fees (minus<br />

a $3 fee) go directly to your designated school, where they can be used<br />

to help fund scholarships, improve<br />

the campus, add to the educational<br />

experience of the students or whatever<br />

is needed or desired. If running and<br />

getting up early is not your thing, there<br />

is even a Snooze option. You can also<br />

sponsor your favorite runner or school<br />

by simply making a donation.<br />

The date for the <strong>2017</strong> Steps for<br />

Students 5k Race/Walk is Saturday,<br />

<strong>February</strong> 18, <strong>2017</strong>. The sunrise Mass<br />

begins at 6:30 AM with the race itself beginning at 8 AM. Registration is<br />

currently underway, but the last day to register at the low price of $15<br />

(which includes a t-shirt) is <strong>February</strong> 1, <strong>2017</strong>. After that, registration<br />

increases to $25, so register early. Steps for Students is a great way to<br />

get out, get some exercise, see our beautiful city with your own eyes and<br />

make some new friends, all the while supporting Catholic education and<br />

the wonderful opportunities it provides to students of all backgrounds<br />

and faiths. For more information about Steps for Students go to http://<br />
