Thank You to 100 Hands Volunteers

Thank you Plymouth volunteers for the excellent work that you completed on the Collier house. Mr. Collier and Carolyn are so appreciative that people whom they do not know cared enough to give their time on a Saturday to help them.
M
r. Collier sent a message to the Plymouth helping hands, “Thank you for remembering us, the elderly citizens of Miami Dade County and bringing hope and greater joys to our lives by making a difference in our living conditions.”
Not only am I proud of Rebuilding Together Miami and the work it does in the community, but I am proud to be a member of Plymouth Church and its outreach into the community.

Please Join Us For The Centennial On Sunday April 30th
We hope you will join us for our very special 100th anniversary celebration of the Plymouth sanctuary on Sunday April 30th.
“Centennial Sunday” will be the culmination of a series of events that mark 100 years since Plymouth first opened its doors to the community and we are lucky to be a part of this historic occasion.
There will be a series of interesting photographs on display in the sanctuary for everyone to see as they come in. As the service starts, we will be treated to what will probably be the largest choir ever assembled in the history of Plymouth thanks to the participation of former choir members and local churches and schools that will be sending representatives to celebrate with us. It should be a magnificent music program that you will not want to miss.
After the service, Lower Plymouth Hall will be open for everyone to stroll in and see some of our most impressive historic documents and memorabilia housed in our archives on campus.
From there, we will head over to Davis Hall for a wonderful luncheon that will have more music to entertain us. There is no charge for the luncheon and everyone is encouraged to come and share in the festivities.
“Centennial Sunday” will be a very special day in the life of our church and we hope you will join us to commemorate our rich history.
