Holy Trinity to Take Part in Souper Bowl of Caring

This weekend while the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks meet on the field in Detroit to determine the 2006 Super Bowl champion, Lutherans will join with other churches and organizations throughout the United States and Canada to raise funds, collect canned goods and donate service hours to benefit hunger-fighting agencies and ministries.

They will be participating in the “Souper Bowl of Caring,” an annual event through which people attending churches, schools, retail outlets and Super Bowl parties can easily contribute money to help people in need.

In many ELCA churches on Feb. 5 — including Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Thousand Oaks — youth groups will collect $1 bills in giant soup pots.

The ELCA World Hunger Appeal, in conjunction with the Lutheran Youth Organization, is urging congregational youth groups to organize local Souper Bowl collections and report results to the Souper Bowl organization. Several resources about Souper Bowl were sent in advance by the ELCA World Hunger program to ELCA congregations. (Source: ELCA News)
