 SOUPER BOWL SUNDAY February 4, 2018.  Please help us transform super Bowl Sunday into SOUPER BOWL SUNDAY.  Soup is a fast moving item in our Food Bank during the winter months.  Help us keep the soup shelf filled by making a special effort to bring a can or two (or three or four) to church on February 4.  Last year our goal was 110 cans of soup.  We met that plus more.  Let’s try to reach that goal again.
