WOW! Soup Lunch started 8 1/2 years ago as a “small group” idea. In October of 2008, seeing the need in our neighborhood we started serving lunches eery other Wednesday. By January of 2099 this ministry had grown to a weekly Wednesday lunch staffed by a core of dedicated volunteers. Soup Lunch has been funded by selling cookbooks, grants and multiple fundraisers. We cook enough to serve 100 weekly averaging 80-90 each week. At Christmas time we serve a special Christmas dinner with a Gift Shop to enable our guests to select 2 - 3 gifts each. Our guests are part of our extended church family. Guests give back by sharing extra food and paper products.
For the last 3 years on the 1st Wednesday of the month, we have hosted a group of students from Beloit Turner who assist in serving the meal. Soup lunch is not only a blessing to our guests, the Turner students and our members who serve. We enjoy the fellowship that we share each week.
