    Give to the Souper Bowl of Caring

    On Sunday February 5, 140 million Americans will tune in to the Super Bowl football game. There will be parties with abundant food, friendship and fellowship. At the same time, there will be people worrying about staying warm, finding shelter and a warm meal.

    In 1990, a Super Bowl Sunday prayer inspired a group of young people to do something more than celebrate a football game. They created the Souper Bowl of Caring, and have mobilized youth across the country to raise more than $71 million for people in need. (more info. at www.souperbowl.org )

    Please join young people around the country as they demonstrate God’s love by loving their neighbors through the Souper Bowl of Caring. It’s a simple, yet significant act of caring for others. Drop $1 (or more!) in the soup pot as you leave worship on February 5.
    Or if you prefer, bring any non-perishable food item and place it in one of the large plastic tubs outside the Narthex or in the Commons. Our young people are developing hearts for giving that can last a lifetime. Please support their efforts. Your donations will go to the food pantry Cokesbury supports: Southeast Area Ministries (SeAM).
