Now, when I asked co-worker and life-long Steeler's fan Allan Brooks if I could climb on the "Steelers Nation" bandwagon, he returned this picture of two United Methodists from Western Pennsylvania Conference who give new depth to the "c-word" commitment.
There is the opportunity this weekend, though, to do more than load up on snacks and watch the big game. I will be at First UMC, Newton, NJ on Saturday for the Skylands District Day of Learning, leading a workshop on being a mission church and what it means for United Methodists to be engaged in shared ministry.
In churches all over, youth will be collecting money in pots and kettles to observe "Souper Sunday" where the money is donated to help replenish supplies in area food pantries (http://gbgm-umc.org/umcor/hunger/souperbowl.stm).
