Tuesday, May 28, 2013 at 4:53PM Thank you to everyone who was here for Grow One Sunday when we dedicated our pledges to support the ministry of Faith Des Peres in fiscal year 2014. We know some people were not able to be in church on May 19 and we look forward to receiving their commitments for the coming year within the next week or so. On Grow One Sunday, we dedicated pledges and gifts totaling $92,230 from 35 members and friends. Thank you so much for the treasures and the time and talents you give to Faith Des Peres. You will receive confirmation of your pledge and a full report on this year’s stewardship campaign in the near future.
