Souper Bowl Sunday
In addition to the “Big Game”
in February, Christ the King Church’s very own Luther League will celebrate
“Souper Bowl Sunday” on February 5. Our youth will join young people
in churches all across the country in using soup pots to collect money for those
who are hungry and hurting. In 2005, over 13,000 youth groups in all 50 states
participated in the Souper Bowl of Caring generating over $4 million. All of the
money collected is donated to a charity selected by the participating youth group.
None of the money is sent to Souper Bowl headquarters. Organizers only ask that
each participant report their collection so national totals can be determined
and announced. The Luther League will donate our congregation’s Souper Bowl
collection to SEARCH-Houston’s Alternative to Home-lessness. Since the Souper
Bowl of Caring became a national grassroots event in 1993, more than $20 million
has gone to help those in need. Please support the youth of our church in this
effort to “love our neighbors” by dropping a dollar (or two!) in the
soup pot on February 5.
