This Sunday, August 12th we join together after worship to fill Buddy Packs. This is our effort to provide food for 60 elementary school children in the University School District over the weekend. If you have ever noticed how difficult it is for a child to behave or to learn when he or she is hungry, you can rejoice with us that these 60 children will have food over the weekend from the Buddy Packs we fill. Come join us then after worship this Sunday, August 19th to stuff Buddy Packs with food, catch up with old friends, and make new ones. For we are here to feed the hungry, as Jesus says. Come join us, and be welcome! Pastor Junie

As the earths shares summer’s fruits with us, let us share our gifts of love and hospitality with those we meet this week.
It’s a communion Sunday which means the kids will pull the wagon and collect food for Circle of Concern during the offering time. The idea behind Feeding the Flock is that while we are spiritually fed at Christ’s table, we are called to physically feed others. This is an important outreach ministry of Faith Des Peres, and is one that gets everyone involved. Even if you forgot food today, you can always donate food to Circle of Concern by dropping it off at the church. Thank you
