Are you ready for a float trip?
Kathy Sherrick is organizing this fun 6-mile float at Mound Ridge on August 16th. More information and registration is on the website and in the Gathering Space.
Faith Des Peres is Going Social
That’s right, we’re on Facebook. The address is www.facebook.com/faithdesperes. Our main objective at this time will be to post events and important announcements and hopefully some of our Flat Jesus adventures, etc. Please let Marie in the office know if you do NOT want any photos of you or your family posted on Facebook. (Even when using photos on the website, no last names - especially of children - are ever used.) “Like” us . . . let’s be “friends!”
School’s Out…
Mission and Ministry is sponsoring a school supply drive this summer in coordination with the Circle of Concern, running from June 29th – August 3rd. Please help give children a good start to the school year with your donation of school supplies. If you cannot bring items on a Sunday, please drop them off when the church is open. Click here for a list of needed items. A big, bright box is in the Gathering Space for school items.

Do You Make Online Payments to FDP?

Don’t Take a Break from Making a Difference!
Summer is break time, but not for contributions... Use your Schnucks e-scrip card (or pick up one in the Gathering Space). It costs you nothing, but Schnucks contributes a percentage of your purchase to Faith Des Peres every time you swipe it at the checkout. The contributions you generate simply by shopping at Schnucks (which you do anyway) helps build a stronger church and allows us to do more for others. Enjoy your summer and be sure to keep up the good work – use your red Schnucks Community or Customer Card every time you shop. Need more information? Contact the church office or visit www.schnucks.com. The FDP Group ID # is 164503349.
