School Uniforms Drive with Chapman
The next school year will be very exciting as we return from the pandemic.

We will have many children at the Chapman Partnership for the Homeless Shelters who will be going to school in August. 

So-o-o, Barnes Circle and BOOM would like to provide new uniforms, including socks and underwear, for these kids. We hope to provide two sets per child (one to wear, one to wash.)

We need your support for this project as we can anticipate 200+ kids will be living at the shelters in August. Each outfit costs approximately $65 (The uniform store gives us a great deal and packages and labels the uniforms).

In the meantime, we will be collecting donations. For checks directed to Plymouth Church, please specify "Barnes Circle" in the memo line.

Ask your friends to help! 

NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL OR TOO BIG!

Ancient Words, Modern Meaning
Sermon Series on the Ten Commandments
The Ten Commandments are rich in wisdom and simple in language. They have lived in human minds and hearts for over three thousand years, as meaningful today as when Moses stepped down from Mt. Sinai. Join us as we rediscover these ancients texts in the context of our everyday lives. Series runs through Sunday June 27. 
Got Questions? Let's Talk
Introducing a series of conversations to engage with questions that are important to the nurturing of our faith and passing that faith on to the next generation. First up: What are sacraments? Is it okay for children to take communion? When should I have my child baptized? I was not baptized in this church, do I have to be baptized again?
