The Power of an Invitation
As we plan for our Capital Campaign, so many wonderful stories and memories are starting to be shared. This week we heard from Mary Ellis, a 90-year Plymouth member. “My folks didn’t have enough money to buy gas to bring me to church, so Florence Coleman, one of the pillars of our church brought me to Plymouth Sunday School in 1933.” Mary did not know at the time, but Mrs. Coleman was the daughter of the renowned landscape architect, Frank Button, who worked with George Merrick to develop Coral Gables, The City Beautiful. Mary recalls proudly, “George Merrick was Chair of Plymouth’s Trustees and played a significant role in Plymouth’s history.” Indeed, he did. Merrick’s father, Solomon served as our pastor from 1901-1907, and ultimately, George as the Founder of Coral Gables, helped Plymouth acquire land to invest in and ultimately to grow into the beautiful campus we enjoy today.
Thank you, Florence Coleman, for the power of your invitation to little Mary, one of the many treasured members here at Plymouth. Please keep sharing your stories, as we work to create a collective history of Plymouth, in the words of our members. Share to memories@plymouthmiami.org.

Our Acolyte Ministry
Calling all Youth, 7 years and older, to join our Acolyte Ministry. Sunday morning service will begin with our Acolytes walking down the aisle and bringing in the light of Christ represented by the lit flame on the candlelighter, and they will light the candles on the communion table. At the end of service, our Acolytes will extinguish the flame on the candles and walk down the aisle to the front door, representing taking the light of Christ now in our hearts and out into the world. If you would like your child to become a part of this Ministry Team, please contact Andrea Burt.
