We continue 10 AM in-person worship on November 1st. We look forward to seeing many of you. We encourage those who are not comfortable worshipping in-person at this time to continue watching our virtual broadcast at 10 AM or later on our website, YouTube Channel, and Facebook page. Registration and all protocols laid out in congregational emails will still be required for 10 AM in-person worship. Please disregard the reference to price as this is a quirk of the sign-up system.

Dear Plymouth Church Members,

Despite the challenges of 2020, our beloved Church’s work is thriving. Through our boards and committees, Plymouth continues working hard on the three pillars of our mission – worship, outreach, and fellowship. We would like to invite you to express your interest in being involved in some of these activities by serving a term beginning in January 2021 - and also your ideas of others who you recommend as strong candidates to serve. 

Through the link at the bottom of the page, you will find a document with the description of the boards and committees, as well as the expected time commitment. At this time, most meetings are being held via video conference.

If you would like to be considered to serve, or would like to recommend someone to serve,  please send an email to the following address nominating@plymouthmiami.org by November 9th stating the boards and/or committees of interest. The Nominating Committee will consider all expressions of interest from across the congregation. After receiving your email, we will be in contact with you.
