We invite Members and Friends to the Annual Meeting after worship on Sunday, January 23. We will celebrate the year that was and look to the year ahead.
We will elect officers, board and committee members for the upcoming year.
We will also vote on our 2022 budget.
We will hear reports from our Senior Pastor and lay leaders about the state of Plymouth Church and plans for the future.
Here are the ways you can participate:
- Attend in-person in the Sanctuary.
-
If you would like to watch the livestream of the Annual Meeting, please tune in to our YouTube Channel or Facebook page. Voting is not possible on these two platforms.
-
Voting members who wish to attend virtually in order to vote, should participate via the Zoom link which has been emailed to all Members prior to the meeting.
If you have questions, please email inquiries@plymouthmiami.org.
The Annual Meeting is an important part of our self-governance that we cherish and that is much a part of our Congregational tradition.

Nurturing Faith (Sunday School) |

On Sunday mornings after the Children’s Moment during the 10:00 a.m. worship service, we will gather in McNaughton Hall to explore the Bible and its many stories. There will be hands-on crafts, music, drama and occasionally science experiments. Most of all, we plan to get to know one another and have lots of fun. We will have a special treat so please RSVP to let us know that you are coming and we can be certain that there are enough treats for everyone. Your child will need to wear a mask. So excited…can’t wait to you see you!!! |

We are hosting a Plymouth Pickleball outing on Sunday, January 30 after worship on the Plymouth Campus. Don’t worry if you haven’t played before – we will supply all the equipment (paddle and ball), and playing pickleball is as easy as playing ping pong. If you are a Pickleball enthusiast, feel free to bring your own racquet and test your mettle with the church’s own ace, Reverend Al! We’ll also have cornhole, horseshoes, badminton... and a food truck!

Look for the wooden box in the rear of the sanctuary or in the cloister garden to place your questions. Looking forward to conversing. Blessings! |
