“SOUP”ER BOWL OF CARING. Members of our Youth Group will
hold soup pots at church doors on Souper Bowl of Caring Sunday, February 7. They will join young people in
churches across the country to collect money for those who are hungry and hurting. In 2009, over 13,000 groups participated
in the Souper Bowl of Caring, generating over $10 million. All of the money collected is donated to a charity selected by
the participant. None of the money is sent to the Souper Bowl of Caring headquarters. Organizers only ask that each participant
report their collection so national totals can be determined and announced.
LOVEWALK FOR THE POOR Resurrection Youth’s Group supports the East End Cooperative Ministry
with non-perishable boxed and canned foods. On Valentine’s Day, these items will be hand-carried by the Youth Group
during the Lovewalk for the Poor: a one-mile walk from Sacred Heart Church in Shadyside to the East End Cooperative Ministry.
Boxes are available in the church entrances for your donations through Friday, Feb. 12.

What the Men’s Group is NOT!!
Several
men when either approached to join and/or have considered it have drawn conclusion with many pre conceived notions. So to
set the record straight here is what the Men’s Fellowship is NOT!!
• It
is NOT a Bible Study Group • It is NOT solely devoted to prayer • It
is NOT focused on any particular issue • It is NOT structured with formal commitments
and responsibilities MORE
