This Week @ Plymouth

Join us for a Musical Sunday Service

You are invited to enjoy
the Christmas Portion of G.F. Handel's "Messiah"
sung by soloists and the Plymouth Chancel Choir and
accompanied by the beautiful sounds of orchestra and organ.

This oratorio is in English and tells the story of Christ's birth
as foretold by the prophets and angels. 
Join us as we contemplate the significance of the Christmas story
in our own time, as told through the music of Handel.
For the Children and Youth:
Children ages 4 years old - 5th grade, who wish to go to Sunday School, may proceed to McNaughton Hall during the hymn.

Childcare is available for infants up to 24 months in McNaughton Hall and for ages 24 months up to 4 years old in Preschool Room 10.

Children are also welcome to stay in worship with their families.

Youth in grades 6-12 will remain in worship. Fusion will resume on January 12. For questions please call Thaddaeus Eliot: 305-444-6521.
The beautiful Advent decorations in the sanctuary are a gift from
Lynne and Paul Steinfurth given to the glory of God and in celebration of their wedding anniversary.
