Morning Worship at 10:30 am

I hope you'll join us for worship this Sunday at 10:30 am.  The subject for this Sunday is a tough one: the apocalypse.  The end of the world.  The Second Coming.  What do we make of this subject?  In 2009, is the end of the world really coming?

To add a little levity to the situation, and for those of us who remember when this REM song was popular, I bring you this:

I hope I'll see you Sunday, assuming that the world doesn't end before then!

Adult Discussion Group

The guest speaker at the Adult Discussion Group this Sunday is Judy Bentley, Executive Director of CHIPS.  CHIPS provides health care services to the underserved and uninsured in St. Louis.  Dr. Bernie Davis, Faith Des Peres member, volunteers for CHIPS and the Mission and Ministry Committee has granted money to CHIPS.  With the debate swirling around health care reform, her presentation is very timely.  Join the group for a great discussion at 9:00 am in the Adult Room on Sundays.

I'm interested in . . .

knowing what your thoughts and questions are about Sunday's scripture readings.  So, I want to try something new onthe blog during Advent.  On Monday, I'll post the scripture reading for the following Sunday.  In the comments section, you can post any questions, thoughts, or opinions you have about the reading.  You can do this any time during the week.  You may find your questions incorporated into the Sunday sermon.  And, we can get some dialog going about the readings.  If you're interested, let me know by posting a reply to this entry. Thanks!  This could be interesting.

Morning Worship at 10:30 am

Join us for worship at 10:30 am this Sunday.  The scripture reading for this Sunday is the story of the widow who donated her last two coins to the temple.  This is a great story because it forces us to ask the difficult question "Could we do the same?"  Do we trust God enough to give God our all? Or do we fear that we won't have enough to live on to give?  Come on Sunday to learn and listen.  And don't forget, if you arrive early you can grab a cup of coffee and visit with friends in the sunny Gathering Space!  I hope to see you Sunday.  Take time in your weekend to worship God.
