Souper Bowl

After a date change and weather delays, the Annual Meeting & Souper Bowl took place on Sunday, February 8, 2026. We were treated to ten delicious soups provided by our generous congregation. We collected a total of 173 cans of food and $114 towards the Coventry Food Pantry to Tackle Hunger. Thank you to everyone who donated, whether it was a soup to enjoy in the moment or a donation to the Food Pantry, your generosity is appreciated at the meeting and throughout the local area.

Atkinson Dinner Cooking by Youth Group

On Saturday, February 21, 2026 the youth group prepared a chili dinner for the Atkinson Center. They met in the kitchen in the afternoon, and over the next two and a half hours, they prepared 8 pounds of chili, 4 trays of brownies, and 4 trays of cornbread to be delivered with rolls, butter, drinks, and handmade cards of support to Atkinson Men’s Shelter of Coatesville.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this outreach dinner a success for our youth. The youth cannot make this delicious meal without everyone’s donations of supplies and time, thank you!
