The Holden Area Ministerial Association (HAMA) just concluded its annual Souper Bowl contest on February 7.

Following are totals from each church and the Holden Schools.

The winner of this year’s contest is New Life Fellowship Church, with a total of 5,618 cans. NLF can proudly claim the highly sought-after HAMA Souper Bowl traveling trophy.
