Sunday help us welcome Rev. Dr. June (Junie) Burks Ewing will join Faith Des Peres as our gap pastor to fill the vacancy following Pastor Annie Epling departure. Please join us and give Junie as enthusiastic FDP welcome on her first Sunday in the pulpit and in the Gathering Space after worship.
Junie was ordained in 2006 after receiving her Masters in Divinity from Vanderbilt University, Nashville TN. Most recently, she served an interim associate pastor of congregational and community care at Mt. Washington Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati. She was the pastor and head of staff at Westminster Presbyterian, Topeka, KS from February 2010 through January 2016 and prior to that she served as pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Ste. Genevieve, MO for approximately four years. Prior to entering the ministry, Junie had careers in sales and financial management. She also served for more than six years as administrative director of Cumberland Pediatric Foundation, Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
We are pleased to have Junie join the FDP community to provide spiritual leadership as we prepare to seek an interim pastor.
