The Summer of Adventures Begins...

And so the SOUP's summer of adventures begins- I (Amelia) am off to Kentucky tomorrow to attend an international summit of orphan ministry leaders. I will be taking copious notes, and keeping you updated with inspiring/profound/challenging ideas and thoughts as I go.

We Love Reilly!





Tonight, we had the honor of not only hanging out with the uber-talented band, REILLY, but we also got to hear them perform their incredible violin infused rock music.

Please check them out at their website www.reillytheband.com...listen to their music, like their facebook, find out when they are touring next near you, because you do not want to miss their amazing performances!

They also give $1 per every CD that is sold to a different non-profit each month. Some of the previous ones have been World Vision, Compassion International, etc.

They came all the way to Berry, though, to play for Rome and to be a part of a new kind of fundraiser for the SOUP. We raised over $800 for the SOUP tonight, and are more than thankful for every person who came out to listen to REILLY, to support us, and to set up/clean up.

A special shout-out to Jon Huggins, Berry's Chaplain's Office, and the RiLAC for everything you did to help put this event together!
