Dear Faith Des Peres Church Family,
Happy New Year!
This Sunday, January 12 we will have our first Disciples Gathering during worship and Buddy Packs after worship of this new year.
We will also celebrate the Baptism of the Lord Sunday, including remembering and reaffirming our own baptisms. My sermon message be “Growing from our Baptism” from Matthew 3:13-17, which is the story of Jesus’ baptism by John.
Looking ahead our first Food Outreach packing morning is February 1. Please look for a sign-up sheet in the Gathering Space.
We will observe the Souper Bowl of Caring on Sunday on February 2.
Also on Sunday, February 2 we will welcome the First Presbyterian, Kirkwood confirmation class to worship, and my spouse, the Giddings-Lovejoy Presbytery Leader Craig Howard and I are planning to co-lead the service.
I look forward to seeing you in and around our church as we share in mission and ministry together!
Shalom in Christ Jesus,
Pastor Marilyn
