Nursery Volunteers Needed | | |
Our nursery needs more adult volunteers! You can volunteer once a month, or even every two months, to assist our child care director, Michelle Grim, on Sunday mornings. All volunteers who work with children must have been attending Plymouth for at least six months and will require a background check. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Rev. Sara Ofner-Seals at smo@plymouthfw.org. | | | |
While the city opted not to use Plymouth as an overflow shelter space for families this winter, we can still help with the emergency shelter efforts. The city is in need of supplies for the family overflow shelter-- you can use the Amazon wish list below to donate! | | | |
Disciples Peace Fellowship Intern Applications Open | | |
The Disciples Peace Fellowship (DPF) has opened its annual application process for its 2025 Peace Interns. Peace Interns are young adults who provide educational and program support at church camps and other church-related assemblies and events about peace and justice issues, serving as counselors and resource people, and modeling the lifestyle of peacemakers for youth and adults alike. In recent years, Peace Interns have also partnered with Disciples Justice Ministries groups to work on specific projects in the name of living out the gospel imperative for peace and justice. Folks 21 and older can apply and learn more at https://www.disciplespeace.org/apply.
Applications are due January 31. Please share with any young adults who may be interested. Rev. Timothy is the co-moderator of the DPF Executive Committee (and a 2004 Peace Intern) and is happy to answer any questions you may have!

Office Volunteers Needed for Weekly Staff Meetings | | |
Do you have some time available on Tuesdays and are looking for something to do? Would you like to aid your favorite Plymouth Receptionist in making sure that everyone is greeted with a kind and smiling face? Do we have the opportunity for you! Plymouth staff are looking for volunteers to cover for the receptionist during the staff meetings every Tuesday from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm. It’s a quiet time for the church, the most you may have to do is answer a phone call or two, maybe complete a small project.
