Je’Kauri McKeithen, 7, with 8-year-olds Mercedes Smith, center, and Keyandra Mason, prepares Saturday to serve a hot bowl of butter bean soup at First Baptist Church, Francis Street, during the second annual free “Soup Day,” a mission outreach project funded by church members and hosted by its Children’s Fellowship. Soup stands for Serving Others Uniting People. The public was invited for their choice of nearly 10 varieties of all-you-can-eat soup, sandwiches, drinks and dessert.
