Super Bowls of soup
St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Jackson scored 166 cans of soup for Stewpot Ministries on Super Bowl Sunday. The Chunky Soup drive encouraged donors to add their soup cans to their team box, and a $25 Chick-fil-A gift card went to the person who came the closest to the Super Bowl score without going over. From left are Susan Slaughter, who led the effort, and Lee and Betty Smithson. The card went to Danny Blanton, who guessed an Eagles win of 35-21.
