Sunday, February 25– Debunking the “Clobber Passages” – Rev. Timothy Price

These sessions will focus on debunking the interpretations of those verses of the Bible that have traditionally been used to condemn the LGBTQ community.

Sunday, March 3-24 – Celtic Christianity – Rev. Sara Ofner-Seals

Back by popular demand, Rev. Sara Ofner-Seals will continue her series on Celtic Christianity during the season of Lent.

Easter Sunday, March 31 – No Chapel Class

As always, we know that Plymouth is full of many talented and knowledgeable folks. If you have a topic you would like to teach in chapel class, please contact Rev. Sara Ofner-Seals, or a member of the Christian Education board.

Friendly reminder that E&M will host Tapping Into Faith at Mad Anthony’s on Monday, February 26 at 7:00 pm. It’s a wonderful chance to get to know fellow Plymouth folks a little better and sometimes welcome folks from the community into fellowship. Loosely guided conversation and story-sharing, good food & drink, and good people – what more could you want?!

We will provide appetizers for all to share, and you are welcome to buy whatever meal or beverage you’d like. Come on over!

Wednesday Night Live programming continues Wednesday, February 28. At 5:15 pm there will be adult choir rehearsal, children’s choir rehearsal, and Lenten Book Study with Rev. Timothy, followed by dinner at 6:00 pm. The Lenten Book Study with Rev. Timothy can be attended in person or via Zoom using the link below. The passcode to join via Zoom is 648589. 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 is ever 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. Hope to see you there!

Our Lenten Book Study will meet Wednesday, February 28 at 5:15 pm. We are studying Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan’s 2007 book The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus’s Final Days in Jerusalem. Borg and Crossan are major popular progressive Christian scholars and should have much to offer for reflection and discussion. This study replaces Rev. Timothy’s weekly Bible study for its duration, which will last through the end of March. The passcode to join via Zoom is 648589.

The Reproductive Rights Action team invites all to participate in an event to create care packages for people traveling to Ohio clinics for abortion care. We will be collecting items from the list below until March 15, and then will gather on Saturday, March 23 to assemble the care packages, which will then be delivered to Faith Choice Ohio for distribution to Ohio clinics. Drop in anytime between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm, and stay and help as long as you like. All are welcome and encouraged to bring a friend!

Below is the list of pre-approved care package materials. This list has been intentionally curated to provide compassionate care for all, with the highest quality and inclusivity in mind.
