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.

Pickleball Outing, Friday, October 29 at 5:00 p.m. |
|
We are hosting a Plymouth Pickleball outing on October 29 at 5:00 p.m. at the Pickleball courts at the Salvador Park tennis facility in Coral Gables (the courts are located on the west side of the facility). 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!
The courts are conveniently located next to the newly renovated playground, where the kids can safely run around with each other. We’ll also have some food and drink, but feel free to bring whatever you please. See you October 29!
