Rally Day – We hope to see you here this Sunday!

Everything kicks into high gear this Sunday with Sunday School for children and youth at 10:45 am and the Adult Discussion Group for adults at 9:00 am.  Lunch and carnival games for all ages after church.  The church is providing hot dogs, drinks, and ice cream.  You are asked to bring a side dish, salad, or chips; and to lend a hand if you can.  Click here for the online RSVP form.  Please RSVP by Thursday.

Kids grades 5 & younger, round up your friends for another fun-filled year in Sunday School!  It all starts this Sunday.

You are invited to join the choir!

The choir has resumed rehearsing for our role as leaders of worship through music.  We meet on Wednesday evenings at 7:15 p.m.  The choir will explore a wide variety of music this year — some gospel songs, some pieces by classical composers, settings of beloved hymn texts and scriptural texts, and more.  Plans for Advent and Lenten cantatas are in the making, and the choir will lead in a hymn festival when the new hymnals arrive this fall.

The choir would gladly welcome anyone who would like to join us.  Just come to rehearsal on any Wednesday if you would like to participate.

Mark your calendars for our annual "fun-raiser" at Sweet Tomatoes

Tuesday, September 24 Faith Des Peres will gather for an evening of food and fellowship at Sweet Tomatoes Restaurant, which features an all-you-can-eat buffet, including fresh salads, homemade soups, pasta and more!  This annual “fun-raiser” benefits Lydia’s House, helping abused women and their children in St. Louis.  Sweet Tomatoes is located at 9846 Watson Road in Crestwood.
