Lenten Soup and Sharing in Lyons

The Inter-Church Council of Lyons will sponsor an ecumenical Lenten program on the Tuesdays of Lent. Each Tuesday, folks are invited to travel from church to church for soup and sharing. The hosting church will provide a simple meal of soup and bread.

The meal is free, but each person is asked to bring a can of soup as his or her offering. The soup will be given to the Lyons Food Pantry and the Lyons Lunch Program.
