Youth Ministry
Souper Bowl of Caring
Saturday, February 3rd and Sunday, February 4th
The Souper Bowl of Caring is a youth-led, grassroots movement of caring, the result of thousands of young people joining together to fight hunger and poverty in their communities.
This year, the youth of Peace, will be banging pots to raise money for the Portville Food Shelter, one of our mission partners local food pantry.
We feel this is one small way to say thank you for all the support we have received and still continue to receive since Hurricane Katrina.
For more information about this upcoming event, please join us 6:30pm - Friday, January 12th for our youth meeting located at the church.
See you there and don't forget, "Bring a Friend"!
