Sunday Worship and Happy Father's Day!

The Ten Commandments are rich in wisdom and simple in language. They have lived in human minds and hearts for over three thousand years, as meaningful today as when Moses stepped down from Mt. Sinai. Join us as we rediscover these ancients texts in the context of our everyday lives. Series runs through Sunday June 27.

Sign-up for 10:00 a.m. In-Person Worship

We continue 10:00 a.m. in-person worship this Sunday. Outdoor seating will also be available. We look forward to seeing many of you. We encourage those who are not comfortable worshipping in-person at this time to watch the livestream of the Worship Service on our website, our YouTube Channel, and Facebook page.

Nurturing Faith (Sunday School),

Resumes In-Person on Sunday, June 27

Most often when we think about our children’s program, the first thing that comes to mind is Sunday School. For me, the name Sunday School evokes images of standard school supplies (paper, crayons, scissors, etc.), tables, chairs, and answers to questions with right or wrong answers. Faith Formation with our children is so much more. I am so excited to announce that moving forward our ministries with children and their families will be identified as Nurturing Faith. This name clearly states our intention, as a community gathered as followers of Jesus, to nurture the faith that is in each of us.

With that, I am so very happy to announce that we will gather for the first time in a year and a half with children ages 4 through 11 years old at McNaughton Hall on Sunday, June 27. We will walk over to McNaughton Hall together after the Children’s Moment occurs in the worship service. Parents will pick up their children on the McNaughton Hall patio after worship where we will enjoy a chilly treat and a little conversation together. I will need to know if your child will be attending to ensure treats for all. Contact Andrea Burt to register your child.

"Plymouth and the United Church of Christ" Talk

Sunday, June 27 Following Worship

Did you know that Plymouth isn't a "nondenominational" church? We're one of over 5,000 churches that make up the United Church of Christ (UCC). What is the UCC and what does it mean to be a part of it? Find out the answers to these questions, and the work the wider church is doing thanks to Plymouth's contributions to its mission, from our own Thaddaeus Elliot, a member of the national Board of Directors for the denomination. We will gather in-person in the Chapel following worship on Sunday, June 27. You can also join us via Zoom.

We Hope You Join Us!

School Uniforms Drive with Chapman

The next school year will be very exciting as we return from the pandemic.

We will have many children at the Chapman Partnership for the Homeless Shelters who will be going to school in August.

So-o-o, Barnes Circle and BOOM would like to provide new uniforms, including socks and underwear, for these kids. We hope to provide two sets per child (one to wear, one to wash.)

We need your support for this project as we can anticipate 200+ kids will be living at the shelters in August. Each outfit costs approximately $65 (The uniform store gives us a great deal and packages and labels the uniforms).

In the meantime, we will be collecting donations. For checks directed to Plymouth Church, please specify "Barnes Circle" in the memo line.

Ask your friends to help!

NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL OR TOO BIG!
