"Souper Bowl
Sunday" will begin on January 9, 2011. Our famous football
field will be displayed in the Kaiser Auditorium, and St. John's vs
Hunger will kick off at 9:00 AM. If you are not familiar with
this event, the youth group displays a football field, and we take
donations of non-perishable food items. You bring us the
donation, and we place the items on the field. For every 10
items we receive, our players will move 10 yards on the football field.
We display this field until the official "Souper Bowl Sunday",
February 6, at which time the Youth will also collect monetary
donations in big soup pots after the 10:45 AM Worship Service.
Everyone who donated is invited to the Auditorium after the service for a bowl of homemade
soup, our way of saying thank you for what you have helped us to
achieve.
The food items will be donated to New Bethany Food Center. The
monetary donations will be donated to the "Souper Bowl for Caring"
national program.
Battling hunger is
an ongoing problem all over the world. Any part we can play in
helping with this ongoing struggle makes the world of difference to
many hungry people. |
