Youth Group Collecting Coke Points For Mission Trip

Any Coke drinkers in your family? If so, the Our Saviors youth who are heading on the mission trip this summer would love your extra My Coke Rewards points! My Coke Rewards points can be redeemed for many items that the kids could use on the trip, including gift cards for meals and possibly even theme park tickets. It could be a great way for the youth to save a little money. My Coke Rewards codes can be found on participating Coke products (under caps, inside 12-packs, and on multi-pack wraps), and can be dropped off in the marked box at the Welcome Center. Thank you!

Soup suggestions include: cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, chicken noodle, chicken with rice, beef noodle, vegetable beef, packets of ramen noodles and any of the “chunky” style soups.

The winners of the Souper Bowl are the many families served by WAFER and each of you who follow the teaching of Jesus to help feed those who are hungry!
