“We’ll make some big trophy featuring a Campbell’s soup can to be given to the winning church on Souper Bowl Sunday.” (Garry Peterson) Churches in Sun Valley, Idaho are having a contest this Sunday to see which one can collect the most cans of soup…It’s called, The Souper Bowl Game. The cans will be donated to the local food bank. If you’re going to a Super Bowl party, you might mention what the Idaho churches are doing. Good ideas are worth sharing. ;-) Jack
FROM MN YOGA COACH: ❤ how we can make this day more than football - especially since my team is out.===JACK: Lots of things are more important than football...but try to tell that to the masses.
FROM TAMPA SHIRL: Great idea!===JACK: At our church, as we leave worship, a youth holds a bucket for gifts to the local food bank.
FROM PRESTWIT: Hey Jack…the “Souper Bowl” has been in action for a number of years! We always have a fellowship time after worship with people bringing soups and chili and we put out baskets with the team names on them. People donate to the basket of the team they think will / or want to win. Then the money goes to local food agencies. Last year 5,000 groups collected $9.6 million…over $150 million since it began in 1990 in a youth group at a Presbyterian church (!!!) in South Carolina. Not sure if you knew that history or not…===JACK: Thanks for that additional information. Since the Steelers are out of it, which basket will you choose?
FROM PEEWEE: What a clever, great idea!===JACK: I'd choose to have Andy Warhol's soup can painting on the trophy.
FROM GUSTIE: Great idea. Too late to get anything going for this year…but next year!!! ===JACK: If you read my Blog, you'll see how one church makes it fun for everyone.
FROM BLAZING OAKS: Our Young People have done this In the past. People were very responsive. It is a good idea! Will have to remember that again next year!===JACK: Why not suggest that your Sunday School class take it on as a project?
