Hello Faith Des Peres Family and Friends,
Rev. Joe Marting will be leading worship again this weekend and next while Annie is out of the office (if you have an emergency, please contact Marie). Remember to bring items for the School Supply Drive ... sign up for the float trip ... register for the new PW Bible Study ... "like" and "share" the new FDP Facebook page ... and try to enjoy these "lazy" days of summer ... or at least the days of summer, whether they're "lazy" or not!
PS: The church office will be closed this coming Monday, July 28th. I will check messages in the morning and afternoon, so please leave a phone number if there's an emergency. Thank you!
~Marie

New PW Bible Study Beginning August 27th
Join us for a new Presbyterian Women’s study based on the book of 2 Corinthians entitled, “Reconciling Paul,” by Elizabeth Hinson-Hasty. Our first meeting will be Wednesday, August 27th at 9:30am, led by Joanna Gerst. We’d love to see you, so register and pick up a book in the Gathering Space. Or let Marie know you’d like to attend.
Do You Make Online Payments to FDP?
If you make payments to FDP through your online banking, please take a moment and adjust the memo line to read either “capital” or “stewardship” for clarification to the church office and Sunday counters. This will also help ensure accurate end-of-year statements for your tax records. Thank you!
Directory Update
Please let Marie in the church office know if any of your contact information has changed since the last directory update in September of 2013. A new directory should be distributed in the fall. Thank you!
