All week I’ve been seeing and hearing smack talk related to soup-making (yes, it’s a thing). Tonight our church is hosting some friendly competition with a Soup Challenge! If you don’t have plans for dinner, plan to be there to sample and vote for your favorite soup. All free-will donations will go to stock the shelves at the Bismarck Emergency Food Pantry.
The event takes place tonight from 5:30 – 7 pm at Legacy United Methodist Church.
