Through the years their efforts have expanded from an in-church benefit to one where they deliver soup to businesses all over the town of Neosho. MissionCast was present for their recent Potato Soup Benefit. The men of the church have produced a CD with complete detailed instructions for planning a potato soup benefit. To receive the CD phone the Office of Creative Ministries at 573-474-7155 or email marble@umocm.com
