Sunday, Feb. 7 is
the Souper Bowl.
This year we will again set out soup pots by the offering plates. Deposit
money in the soup pots for the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf.
The idea is that you will feel guilty enough about all of the empty
calories you will consume during the Super Bowl Football Game to want
to give an equal amount of money to people who are going without food.
We join thousands of other congregations each year in receiving the
Souper Bowl offering.
Here are the numbers as of today:
17,126 - groups signed up to participate
50 - US states represented
6 - countries represented
$964,778 - collections reported already
$10 million raised in 2009
Over $60 million raised since 1990

Haiti Direct
Donation Link
or bring donations to church
please keep the people of Haiti in your prayers |
Support Haiti through UMCOR
Be patient, the web may be but be patient and make a donation.
You can have it credited to Peace Church if you take the time to go
through the procedure as you check-out.
We are in the Big Waters District.
United Methodists are well positioned to provide direct aid efficiently,
as the United Methodist Church has a long-standing relationship with
Haiti through the Methodist Church of Haiti. The strong ties between
the Methodist Church of Haiti and UMCOR helped in facilitating the opening
of the UMCOR Haiti field office in 2005. Remember, one hundred percent
of your donation will be used to assist those in Haiti who are in greatest
need. Not all aid organizations can promise that. This is the safest
way to ensure your donation will assist those in need. Further, UMCOR
will remain in Haiti for a long time to come, well after other organizations
have left.
You can also donate by telephone at 800 554 8583.
You can send or bring money donations to Peace as well. Donations batched
by the church are actually preferred and
require less UMCOR effort than individual donations. Mark them Haiti
Emergency.
