In brief: Advent Soup Supper is back at Hampton church

Soup’s on

Hampton Presbyterian Church’s annual tradition is back. On Nov. 28 at 5 p.m., HPC prepares for the coming of the Christ child with the Advent Soup Supper held on the first day of Advent each year.

Guests are asked to bring a slow cooker of soup and two dozen cookies to share. Some bring a muffin tin to try many of the soups at one time. A time of worship and the lighting of the Advent Wreath launches the Advent Season. Devotional booklets will be available.

The church is located at 2942 East Hardies Road in Gibsonia. Call the church office at 724-443-3201, for details or questions. More information and other videoed services can be accessed through the HPC website, hamptonpresbyterian.net, or the church’s YouTube account.
