SOUP SUNDAYS

During the month of January, we will be hosting “Soup” Sundays

Bring a can of soup for the community food pantry every Sunday in support of our neighbors at the New Hope Food Pantry in Olathe, KS.

Just imagine, if every person in worship donated at least 1 can each week, we could collect and donate over 500 cans for the community food pantry!

What a great way to start off the New Year by helping those in need in our community.
