New City church raises money on Super Bowl Sunday
Most people will spend part of tomorrow eating chicken wings and nachos while watching television.
Others will spend part of the day collecting money to make sure that the needy don't go hungry any day of the year.
Youngsters at St. John's Episcopal Church in New City will be taking part in the Souper Bowl of Caring. The nationwide movement seeks to mobilize youth to fight hunger and poverty in their communities.
"We want our youth to look outside their own comfort zone and recognize that there is a need in their own community," said Margaret Gillespie, youth leader at St. John's.
After services tomorrow morning, members of the youth group will carry a big soup kettle around the church and collect donations.
This will be the fifth year that the church has taken part in the Souper Bowl, Gillespie said.
