Sunday Notes
The religious quest, the spiritual pilgrimage is always taking us into new lands where we are strange to others, and they are strange to us. Faith is a venture into the unknown, into the realms of mystery, away from the safe and comfortable and secure. When we remain in the security of family surroundings, we have no need of faith. -Parker Palmer
11am Worship and Communion
Rev. Dr. Brett Younger, Senior Minister
The pita bread being served at communion is being made by the youth.
Brass last week, and timpani drums coming up this week. The featured choir music will be African Mass by Norman Luboff celebrating the unity of Christians around the world. The music is based on African drumming and worship traditions.
Communion Offering / Plymouth Shelter
We give our time and talents as hosts of the shelter for 5 weeks. Many are giving of their time by cooking awesome dinners and staying the night with our guests. This communion offering defrays the direct costs of breakfast and basic supplies. Even if you didn't get to sign up to help, you can stay connected with your talents. Make your gift using the mission offering envelope on Sunday or make your gift online to the mission fund here.
Dreaming the Church @ 9:45 am
Join the more than 40 people who have participated in this adult series over the past two Sundays. It is not necessary to have attended the first two parts. No catch-up assignments. Come, share and enjoy. There is breakfast club for the children at the same time. There really is something for everybody.

Liz's decision to be a part of Plymouth says good things about our congregation. We are blessed to share church with Liz.

Blessing of the Animals / Tuesday, October 4 @ 3:30 pm An old tradition comes to Plymouth . Don't miss it, and don't let your pets miss it either. They'll love you even more for it.
Meet, Greet and Eat / October 15
Plymouth knows how to eat and Plymouth knows how to talk. When we eat and talk at the same time, it's amazing. We are looking for hosts and guests to participate in Plymouth's first "Meet, Greet, and Eat." We will put together Plymouth members with common interests and backgrounds. They will meet at the home of a Plymouth host where they will greet other members, engage in conversation and eat a meal with Plymouth friends (old and new). Hosts can provide dinner or coordinate a potluck.

New Members to be Received
|
 | At their September meeting, the Church Councl approved five people you probably know for membership.
Brett, Carol, and Caleb Younger come as regular members from the Northside Drive Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The Youngers have been a part of Plymouth since Brett became the Senior Minister on
June 1 this year.
Jill and John Scibilia come as associate members. They will maintain their membership with St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Manhattan, even as they serve with our congregation. The Scibilias have been at Plymouth since October 1, 2013 when John became our Executive Administrator.
These five will be received into the membership of the church on All Saints' Sunday, November 6.
Consider joining these five. On October 16 & 23 @ 9:45 am there will be Discover Plymouth sessions designed for those who have been at Plymouth and may be interested in membership. The sessions are a dialogue and not talking heads handing out lots of papers. Hattie Bollerman, Kate Kincaid, Greg Keilin and John Scibilia will host the sessions. Want to learn or talk more? Great. Contact John Scibilia and get the conversation started. |

Check-Out our Kickin' Kickoff Sunday Pics
Imagine a Sunday offering of $25,000 (all cash, no plastic)? That is today's value of the $900 raised at Plymouth on February 5, 1860 to liberate Pinky from slavery. There was also a gold ring in that same overflowing collection plate which was presented to Pinky by Rev. Beecher. Learn more on our website and enjoy viewing "Pinky's Freedom Ring." And, PS., you can see Pinky and her ring in the Plymouth arcade.
