Souper Bowl= Super Success!

More than 75% of the churches in Plains and Peaks Presbytery participated in the Souper Bowl collection for hungry people this year helping to get the combined National total to almost $6.5 million dollars!

Many of you know- this offering started when a youth group asked:  Why not use Super Bowl weekend, a time when people come together for football and fun, to also unify the nation for a higher good: collecting dollars and canned food for the needy? That was in '90 and since then over $81 million dollars have been raised for hungry folks in your communities. WOW! 

If you would like to see your church's history in fundraising with this campaign...plug in your zip code at SouperBowl site . You'll be amazed at what your members have accomplished!
