RELIGION BRIEFS

THE SAMARITAN INN, a ministry to street people conducted by the Rev. Jerry Clevenger, will benefit from a project in progress at Northview United Methodist Church. Members, who have been supplying the mission with soup for more than six years, are filling a donated 1982 car with cans of soup.

When the vehicle is loaded - mid-August is the expected date - it will be driven to the mission. Clevenger then will receive not only the soup but proceeds from the sale of the car.

Community donations also are being received at the church on Plantation Road at Ridgecrest.
