Words for Thought

"A world without Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like summer without flowers, like a homestead without a garden. It is the most joyous day of the week.” -Henry Ward Beecher

Habitat for Humanity - Update

Plymouth volunteers (21 of them!) pitched in at Habitat's 2018 Building Blitz. All hands were on deck to do major landscaping (laying sod, installing trees, etc.) and help complete the Habitat house for its new family. Plymouth (through BOOM) also supported Habitat with a $2,500 donation. Many thanks to BOOM Habitat Project organizer, Christy Starr-Klevan. #Faithinaction

Watch for more Faith in Action - Coming: 100 Hands Project - April 14

Piedmont College & Scholarship Opportunities

We are pleased that Dr. James Mellichamp, President of Piedmont College in Demorest Georgia, will be with us to worship on March 4 – particularly for two reasons.

First, Dr. Mellichamp, a widely acclaimed organist, will play the Offertory during our worship. Among other venues, he has performed at St. Paul’s and Westminster Abbey in London, and Notre Dame in Paris – and soon at Plymouth.

Second, after worship in Lower Plymouth Hall, Dr. Mellichamp will speak about Piedmont’s Nickerson Congregational Heritage Scholarship. This scholarship fund is dedicated to supporting students who are part of Congregational Churches. For background on Piedmont College and the Nickerson Scholarship> https://www.piedmont.edu/spiritual-life

Especially important: Our youth and their parents are encourage to join us for this gathering in Plymouth Hall with Dr. Mellichamp. Light refreshments will be served.

Three informal discussions of writers' works from the book "Listening for God" will be offered on Sundays, March 4, March 11 and March 18.

The March 4 program will discuss Richard Rodriguez' essay "Credo" and Patricia Hampl's essay from "Virgin Time." On March 11 Kate Taylor will focus on “A Small Good Thing” by Raymond Carver and “Exiles” and “Aprille” by Garrison Keillor. On March 18 David Zack will lead the discussion.
