“Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us to be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat.” -SouperBowl of Caring Founding Prayer
One Church-with one prayer in 1990-has now grown to 15,000 churches nationwide, raising over $10 million in 2009 to help those in need. St. John’s will join with congregations across America on SouperBowl Sunday, February 7.
It’s simple.
St. John’s youth will take up a collection as you leave church, asking each person to contribute $1.00. (Of course, larger gifts are certainly accepted.)
It’s local.
All proceeds from the collection will be donated to Braes Interfaith Ministries (BIM).
It’s a celebration.
Everyone is invited to gather in McPhail Hall after worship for soup. One of the soup choices will be “stone” soup created from donated items from the congregation. Bring your favorite fresh, canned or frozen ingredient to the kitchen before church to be added to our chicken stock.
