Our intergenerational series on anti-racism stories continues this Sunday, and will take place upstairs in Room 204. We hope both kids and adults of all ages will join us for this intergenerational series! Note: there will be no Zoom option given the location.

“The idea of race as a biological construct makes it easy to believe that many of the divisions we see in society are natural. But race, like gender, is socially constructed. The differences we see with our eyes - differences such as hair texture and eye color- are superficial and emerged as adaptations to geography. Under the skin, there is no true biological race.” 

- Robin Diangelo, White Fragility

Wednesday Night Live programming continues this Wednesday. At 5:00 pm there will be adult choir rehearsal. At 5:15 pm there will be Bible Study with Rev. Timothy, followed by dinner at 6:00 pm. Handbells will meet at 6:30 pm. All activities are open to anyone in the church, regardless of membership status. Come for activities or just come for dinner and fellowship! The suggested cost for dinner is $10 per person, though no one will be turned away due to the inability to pay. If you plan to come for dinner, please sign up in the Folsom Room in advance so our caterer knows how much food to prepare. Hope to see you there!


The passcode to join Bible Study on Zoom is 773232.

Girls Leading with Confidence, in partnership with SAVE Fort Wayne Promise Club, will host Transit Equity Day and a Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser on Saturday, February 7, honoring the legacy of Rosa Parks and the women of the Montgomery Bus Boycott while uplifting youth leadership and access to opportunity.

This year's book study is How to be an Antiracist, by Ibram X Kindi. The book is available through Amazon or Barnes and Noble in either print, digital, or audible format. You can also check out the hardcover edition from the church's Louise Folsom Memorial Library. This study, led by Reverend Timothy, starts February 18 and concludes April 1, meeting every Wednesday at 5:15 pm in the chapel.

Many, if not most of us, will at some point or another have a friend or loved one who is living with dementia. That reality is true for members of Plymouth Church, too. We will begin offering a weekly group on Wednesday nights after Wednesday Night Live dinner for those caring for or in relationship with someone with dementia. This group will be led by Rev. January Simpson and will meet in the Chapel starting at 6:45 pm on March 4. No sign up is required, but feel free to email and indicate your interest to jls@plymouthfw.org.
