A Message From Our Pastors About Communion This Sunday |
|
Dear people of Plymouth,
This Sunday, we again gather at the Lord’s Table to share communion together. As we so often say at Plymouth, “no matter who you are or where you are in your life journey”, you are welcome at this table.
As we did last month, we invite you to prepare in advance of the time you plan to watch worship, so that you will have ready whatever bread, cracker, wine, juice, etc., for when we invite everyone to partake at the Table of Fellowship.
During Coronavirus time, we harken back to the earliest days of the church, when worship took place in homes. What a blessing that through the power of God’s Holy Spirit and the wonders of modern technology, that we can share loving fellowship and our Lord’s joyful feast, even as we are apart.
Please join us this Sunday for a time of togetherness.
Blessings and love,
Pastor Al and Pastor Moira

Macedonia-Plymouth Bible Study |
|
Dear people of Plymouth,
I’m excited to announce a joint Zoom Bible study series with our very close friends and neighbors from Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church. Macedonia’s Pastor Lance Bailey and I will co-lead the conversations together. These will take place the 3rd Thursday evening of each month at 6:30-7:30pm. The kickoff will be Thursday, August 20. Together with our sisters and brothers in faith from Macedonia, we will look at the story of Abraham, the father of our faith – from the Book of Genesis. It will be a seven-part series. All are invited. Dates and Zoom link are below. I can’t wait!!
God bless, Pastor Al

Plymouth Hurricane Helpers |
|
In those hot days after a storm, seeing a friendly face can make all the difference. Checking in on one another can make a huge difference to everyone's morale.
This is true for families with children as well as for folks who, regardless of their age, live alone. Should any of us sustain severe damage to our homes or perhaps even need assistance, it is a comfort to know that after a storm, a Plymouth Hurricane Helper might be coming by to check on us or help us call for assistance.
None of us are meant to be first responders, FEMA, or emergency service providers. What we can be is a friendly face as well as a source of mutual aid and encouragement.
If you would like to serve as a Hurricane Helper or have questions feel free to contact Pastor Moira.

Plans for Phased Re-Gathering |
|
Dear people of Plymouth,
Greetings everyone. We miss being with you all!
We want to share with you the work that our Re-opening Committee has been doing.
Below is a plan the committee has been working on with both of us and Zach. With the recent trend of increased Covid-19 cases in South Florida, while we see this plan as safe, prudent and solid, we have decided to delay picking a specific date to begin. This will give us the flexibility to gauge the situation and make time-sensitive decisions and adjustments as needed. We nevertheless want to share this with you so that you can see the direction we are looking to go. Click here to read more.
