SOUPER BOWL OF CARING
The Souper Bowl of Caring encourages people to give $1 (or more) as they leave worship on Super Bowl Sunday, February 5th. It is an effort to glorify God and care for hungry brothers and sisters. Our Middle & High School Youth will use large soup pots to collect donations. The effort began with the Sr. High Youth of Spring Valley Presbyterian Church in Columbia, SC in 1990 and has grown to international portions. Our Middle & High School Youth will donate the proceeds from Southminster to Freedom House Conrad Center, Richmond’s only regular meals program where hot, nutritious evening meals are provided to the homeless and working poor. Why not bring along a can of soup for our own Food Closet?

MIDDLE and HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH
What a wonderful year we have had! From our trip to the McDonald’s river house, volunteering at the Folk Festival, progressive dinner, Crop Walk, Youth Sunday, spaghetti luncheon and other events, the year has flown by. As we get ready to wrap things up, we wish our seniors congratulations and Godspeed on the new adventures awaiting you! And, while you may be too old for youth group, you are never too old for hugs and catching up when you are able to come to Sunday worship! For all the other youth, we invite you to give youth group a try either the last few meetings this year, or as a fresh start next fall. Our time together is full of fellowship and fun, and we would love to share that with you. Expect a few phone calls with heartfelt invitations to join our awesome SPC Youth Group. The leaders are committed to our youth and creating a Youth Group that focuses on God through creative fun and fellowship. Look for announcements in the bulletins for details on the last few events. We provide almost everything that is needed - the only thing missing is you!
