February is here, which means two things: the Souper Bowl of Caring and, of course, the age-old debate—Chicken Noodle Soup vs. Tomato Soup. (If you missed the rap battle, let’s just say it was a epic!)

While we may have fun debating our favorite soups, or gathering more canned goods than the Seventh Day Adventists, the real battle is hunger—and that’s a fight we can all get behind. The Souper Bowl of Caring is an opportunity for us to share God’s abundance with those in need. Just as Jesus turned empty nets into overflowing blessings (Luke 5:1-11), we can take what we have and trust that God will use it to make a difference.

All the canned goods we collect this month will go to the ReNewed Hope Food Pantry. We hope to have a little fun and a bit of a good-natured competition as we work together to provide for those in need. We know that food insecurity affects many people from many walks of life.  So, whether you’re Team Chicken Noodle or Team Tomato, let’s all be Team Grace Covenant—serving, giving, and loving in Jesus’ name.
