All are invited to the fourth annual Las Posadas Processional, inspired by the Mexican Christian tradition. Folks should plan on gathering in the Folsom Room after worship on Sunday, December 8, around 11:30am. After a quick overview of the tradition, we will begin the procession throughout the building as we re-enact the Holy Family’s search for lodging and shelter before finally being welcomed. This is a great event for families and children, though all ages are welcome. We conclude with a celebration in the Folsom Room with traditional Christmas tamales (Shh! It’s a surprise!).

Capacity is limited to 50 people processing but others are encouraged to assist in the responsive singing at the different stations throughout the building or helping set up in the Folsom Room while everyone is away during the procession.

Wednesday Night Live continues on Wednesday, December 4. Adult choir and children's choir begin at 5pm, Book Study starts at 5:15pm, dinner is at 6pm, and handbells begin at 6:45pm.

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 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.

This year for Advent, Rev. Sara Ofner-Seals will be leading a book study on The First Advent in Palestine by Kelley Nikondeha.

The Plymouth Church Music Series and Heartland Sings are collaboratively sponsoring a Christmas concert by Canto de Corazón on Sunday, December 15 at 4pm, in the Plymouth Church Sanctuary.

This second annual program will feature co-directors Robert Nance and Cote Godoy. This concert is free and open to the public.

Attention all program directors, boards, committees, taskforces, and action teams-- submissions for this year's Annual Report are due on Monday, December 9 at noon. Please submit all reports to Office Manager Tony Ray at tdr@plymouthfw.org. If possible, please include pictures with captions.

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!

Fort Wayne Pride is once again partnering with Plymouth members as well as other community donors to provide gifts to local LGBTQ families in need. Each year 12-15 families are selected to receive items from their needs and wants list. On average, around 50 people are helped each year. It would be impossible to support families without the support of generous community members!

If you are interested in supporting these families, we are still in great need of gift cards for groceries or gas. We try to provide each family with some gift cards to help out with filling the pantry and/or their tanks. This is an item that we cannot purchase as a nonprofit, so we rely solely on donations.

There is a donation bin set up for gift drop off, but if you're more comfortable giving directly to someone or have questions about the program, please contact Nikki Fultz at 260-602-6860. We have been able to help hundreds of people over the last several years, and we are grateful for Plymouth's support!

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!
