Easter Sunday, April 5
A brass quartet, beautiful flowers, and inspiring message – what’s not to love about Easter? Whether you come to church every Sunday or only sporadically, we invite you to join us on Easter at 10:30 am. Need a little hope and joy in your life? Find it here! We want to see you, your family and friends on Easter. All are welcome!
Maundy Thursday, April 2, 7:00 pm
Do you want to make your Easter more meaningful? We encourage everyone to attend this year’s Maundy Thursday service. Held in the Gathering Space, we’ll take part in what is known as an agape meal. The service will begin with a simple dinner (provided for you), and then we’ll move into communion, the reading of the Passion story, and sing “Were You There”. This service is appropriate for all ages. We need to know if you’re coming, so please email Yolanda at adminasst@faithdesperes.org, text Annie, post to Facebook, or do it the old-fashioned way by calling (432-8029), or by signing up in the Gathering Space.
We Want Candy!
About 100 kids and their families attend our annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Old Des Peres Church. That’s a lot of kids which = lots of candy needed! Please donate candy! You can leave it in the wagon in the Gathering Space. We also need egg stuffers after church on Palm Sunday (March 29). Any help you can provide is much appreciated! (Please donate small candy that fits in an egg.) Thank you!

One Great Hour of Sharing Next Week
Through abundant and generous gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS), Presbyterians have faithfully heeded God’s call to serve people seeking to reclaim and restore their lives.
Our goal is to collect $1500. We will collect the OGHS offering on Easter Sunday, April 5th.
Go Sunday Update
As many of you heard Pastor Annie say the past two Sundays, the Mission and Ministry Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel Go Sunday this year. We anticipated being able to send at least 30 Faith Des Peres members to one major organization to participate in indoor and outdoor service work. However, just as we were about to announce the plans for Go Sunday 2015, our major organization fell through. Given the late notice, the Mission and Ministry Committee was not able to pull together another activity for a large group. We are working to schedule times for the smaller activities that had been planned. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in the service work we do as Faith Des Peres Presbyterian.
Not So Churchy Church Sunday, April 12, 10:30 am
Join us the Sunday after Easter for a “not-so-churchy-church” worship service. We’ll be in the Gathering Space where we’ll eat, worship, and focus on the new life that is ours at Easter. It’s for all ages and will include some exercises to get us thinking about the areas of our lives that need some new life and how can we get it. This is a potluck! So please email Yolanda at adminasst@faithdesperes.org, text Annie, post to Facebook, or do it the old-fashioned way by calling (432-8029) or signing up in the Gathering Space and let us know (roughly) what you’ll bring. (There’s nursery care this Sunday if you want it, but there’s no Sunday School. Everyone is encouraged to worship together.)
