A local ministry has become a tradition in Smithfield. On the second Saturday in October, COP sponsors a community soup lunch to raise money to provide financial assistance for wintertime heating for those who may not otherwise have been able to afford it. Hundreds of people from local churches make large pots of soup, desserts and other dishes which are brought to Trinity FAC.
