Adult Discussion Group and Dedication of New Hymnals

We look forward to dedicating the new hymnals in a special service Sunday, October 27th.  At the Adult Discussion Group that day, led by Gay Spears, we will learn more about the history of the new hymnal, explore its theological vision, and sing some of the hymns and songs with the help of choir members. Please join us for these special events.

Feeding the Flock

Faith Des Peres will start a monthly food collection called “Feeding the Flock” for Circle of Concern on Sunday, November 3rd.  Food collection will occur on the first Sunday of every month, coinciding with communion Sunday, and the children of the church will participate by collecting food products in a wagon during the service. Prior to communion Sundays, we will make the congregation aware of Circle of Concern’s “critical needs”. Current critical needs include: canned meats, canned fish, canned fruit, macaroni & cheese, spaghetti sauce, cereal, toilet paper, and bar soap. We look forward to beginning this new tradition in helping others in need!!!
