The Carol Service | December 16 | 6:00 pm
This year marks the 86th year for a neighborhood tradition: Plymouth’s candlelight service of carols and anthems. This year our prelude will be performed by you, singing Christmas carols together as we gather for the service,
starting at 5:45 pm. Then sit back and enjoy a trip around the world. Our journey begins in France, and by the time we are done we will have been musically transported to Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, Poland, and the American South.

A Christmas Story | Eric Huang
It seemed growing up, that there was always some things I wanted at Christmas...

Please share a year-end gift with Plymouth Church. Our giving year closes December 31, so please act quickly before you get swept away by the bustle of Christmas.
Brett reminded us in a recent sermon that “giving is itself a gift of God. God has put it within us to sacrifice because we are grateful, because we love God. Sacrificial giving teaches us the joy of recklessness and the satisfaction of being part of a mission far larger than we are.”
