No money goes to a national organization because each participating group determines which local charity will recieve the funds. In 2009 $10,372,676 was collected from 13,848 groups. To date, 15,437 groups have registered in 2010. (Visit www.souperbowl.org.)
St. John’s has participated in the SouperBowl collection for 16 years. This year, in addition to taking a collection as the congregation leaves the Sanctuary, the youth will be serving soup in McPhail Hall. One of the soup choices will be "stone soup" created from donated items from the congregation. Bring your favorite fresh or canned ingredient to the kitchen before church to be added to our chicken stock. All proceeds from the collection and the soup donations (and any leftover canned ingredients) will be donated to Braes Interfaith Ministries (BIM).
