Get your crockpots ready, bring your appetite, and join us on Sunday, October 18, for a day of delicious food, friendly competition, and fun - all to support our 2027 Honduras Mission Trip! 


We’re hosting SoupFest at noon in the Family Life Center, and we have some questions for you: 

Think your soup is the best in town? 

Have a soup recipe that keeps everyone coming back for seconds? 

Have you been waiting for the perfect opportunity to show off your cooking skills?

Well, we are here for you! 


We're inviting our church family to bring a crockpot of soup or a platter of sandwiches to share. 

We'll put those soup recipes to the test as everyone votes for their favorites with their spare change! 

Prizes will be awarded to the top three soups, along with some well earned bragging rights!


Want to enter your soup in the competition or provide sandwiches? Sign up HERE or email Katie at katie.pumc@gmail.com. 

The FLC will be open at 8:30 a.m. and throughout the morning to drop off food.


SoupFest is about more than good food and a little friendly competition. 

All proceeds will benefit our 2027 Honduras Mission Trip, helping our mission team share God's love through service and care for others.

The excitement doesn't stop with the soup! We're also holding a Honduras Mission Trip Raffle, with plenty of great prizes up for grabs!


Here's how it works: You get to choose which raffle items you'd like a chance to win! Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20, and purchases can be made with cash or check.


Stop by the church office on Sunday or during regular office hours to view the raffle items, choose your favorites, and purchase tickets. Raffle tickets will also be available at SoupFest!


The lucky winners will be randomly drawn during SoupFest on Sunday, October 18, and you do not have to be present to win.

Whether you're bringing an award-winning soup, sharing sandwiches, voting with your spare change, purchasing raffle tickets, or simply coming hungry, there's a way for everyone to participate!


Every bowl of soup, every vote, and every raffle ticket helps support our Honduras Mission Trip and the work God is doing through this ministry.


So mark your calendar for Sunday, October 18, at noon in the FLC! 

Bring your appetite, your spare change, and your competitive spirit. Let's turn a little friendly competition into a whole lot of love for Honduras!
