Lenten Simple Suppers

For a number of years now, a small group of people, both members and friends of the church, gathers together on Wednesdays during Lent for our "Lenten Simple Soup Suppers." We enjoy a simple meal, consisting of soup, bread and butter, coffee, juice, and cookies, along with fellowship around the table. The canned soups are brought in by the participants, many of them on the Sunday before the supper so that a volunteer can heat them up ahead of time. All the different brands of soup (chicken one week, beef another, etc.) are mixed together, and it always tastes great! The participants are also asked to contribute an extra can of soup each week for our food box, which is later donated to one of the area food banks or shelters.

The supper and fellowship time are followed by a short Lenten program. In some years, this has taken the form of a Bible study. Other years, various forms of devotionals have been offered each week by a different participant (on a voluntary basis only). And in recent years we have enjoyed video series on the life of Christ, or the history of the church. Body, soul, and the needy are nourished by this program!
