Mission Of The Month
The “Mission of the Month” for February is the Souper Bowl of Caring. For over 30 years, the Souper Bowl of Caring has been driving grassroots efforts using the energy of the Big Game to illustrate the collective impact of tackling hunger locally.
Each year, churches, schools, and civic groups around the country join us, and host food and fundraising campaigns that benefit charities in their own neighborhoods.
Since 1990, close to $200 million has been donated to local charities around the nation with over 305,000 unique groups participating.
Please help us in supporting this wonderful cause to help those in need. All money and food collected on February 9th will go to tackling hunger through the Fair Haven Food Pantry. Last year we collected 466 pounds of food and $163. Let’s see if we can top that in 2025!
February Mission Updates & Opportunities
Feed My Starving Children – We plan to again support Pines Presbyterian Church in this wonderful act of mission. Kids and adults of all ages hand-pack nutritious MannaPack®meals specifically designed to assist in reversing and preventing undernutrition. You can sign up for a 2-hour time slot on the following days: February 21st & February 22nd. See Laurie Mitchell to sign up for a time on the 22nd to go over with a group from SBPC. You can also go to www.fmsc.org to register for a time to volunteer on your own.
SBPC Hot Meals on Weekends – The 4th Saturday of each month we look for individuals to deliver meals to shut-ins. We have 2 routes, so we usually need a total of 2 pairs of volunteers each month. Please contact Lu Taylor if you are interested in volunteering to deliver meals one month.
Mission of Yahweh supplies drive – SBPC will be collecting some items for the Mission of Yahweh that are in high demand and low supply right now. They are in dire need of 55 gallon trash bags, toilet paper, and paper towels. Please consider purchasing some of these items as you do your shopping this month. Bring them to the foyer outside the church office all month long!
February 16th Blood Drive – Save the date for our next blood drive. In preparation for the February event, it is important to take consistent iron supplements or enjoy a high iron diet. In addition, high water intake and physical activity 24-48 hours before donating, and a hearty breakfast on the day of can boost your success as a donor! We challenge you to be a first-time donor!
