Souper Bowl of Caring, Sunday, February 1

The Souper Bowl of Caring Offering began in 1990 when a seminary intern offered this prayer with his youth group: "Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat". The youth group took up a collection of money and canned goods to give to a local hunger organization in their community. Since then, ordinary young people have generated an extraordinary $50 million for soup kitchens, food banks and other charities in communities across the country.

Mission Fair 2015 - Theme is "Women and Water"

February 18 through February 22

Each year, Park Lake sets aside a week for "Mission Fair" to raise awareness about our important mission outreach as well as to collect an offering to support that work. Our offering goal for 2015 is $18,000.

Please plan on joining us as we welcome Rev. Debbie Braaksma, Coordinator of the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) in Africa and former mission co-worker in Kenya and Sudan.

Our guiding Scripture for the week is John 4:15, "Sir, give me this water so that I may never be thirsty".

Please contact the church office if you have any questions. We hope you can join us for a wonderful week of Mission Fair!
