Let's see how many Living Faith-ers are cheering for the Chiefs and how many are rooting on the Eagles in this year's Super Bowl! Bring your canned soups to church and stop by the bin. Put your cans in the bin on the side labeled Kansas City Chiefs, if you're a Chiefs fan and on the Philadelphia Eagles' side if you are an Eagles fan!
All donations go to The Table food pantry at Rejoice! Church and please try to shop for cans of soup with pull tabs! Thank you!
