SUPER BOWL SUNDAY BECOMES “SOUPER” BOWL SUNDAY

 

                                                                        Dalton Daily Citizen News – 2/7/2012

CHURCH DONATES SOUP TO MINISTRY

      Super Bowl Sunday is a day where our nation turns its attention to a football game.  But the members of Tunnel Hill United Methodist Church turned their attention to the members of the community who are without a bowl of soup to eat.

     Church members donated 300 cans of soup and $400 during their Sunday morning worship service.  Donations were given to Soul Station Ministries to help provide food to families in need.

     Soul Station Ministries helps feed twenty families each week.  In 2011 they distributed 42,000 pounds of food.

Ash Wednesday is February 22nd.  We will have an Ash Wednesday Service at 7:00 PM, in the sanctuary.  Mark this date and invite your family and friends.  Due to the fact that school will not be in session, we will not have the Family Night Out Meal.  ALL adults, youth and children are encouraged to attend the Ash Wednesday Service which marks the beginning of Lent.
