Christian Formation for Children

Parable Palooza

Our first annual (?) Parable Palooza was a hit. A thousand thanks to ALL who made it possible. Please enjoy the pictures at plymouthucc.org/gallery and see that a good time was had by all.

Nursery & Worship Center

Plymouth's nursery has re-opened for toddlers aged 12 months to 2.5 years. Please find a registration form at plymouthucc.org/nursery. How to get there: follow the signs from Fellowship Hall. Other children may enjoy, with a grownup, the additional activity spaces in the Fellowship Hall. Look for the small card tables. All children are welcome to use the Children's Worship activities outside the main doors to sanctuary.

Outreach & Service

Would you like to get outside regularly and help to beautify Plymouth?

Do you have a green thumb (or know what a weed is)? The trustees are looking for a few folks to give us a hand with the flower beds this summer. We have divided the areas around church into manageable spaces. There is no planting or watering -- just keeping the weeds down. Sign up for the section you would like at tinyurl.com/plymouthgardens. Questions? Kathee Houser Thanks for your help.

Greeting Cards for Women in Prison

We are once again gathering greeting cards for distribution to the women at the Denver Correctional Facility! The basket for cards is on the kitchen counter in Fellowship Hall next to the water fountain. You can refresh your memory of this project by reading the pamphlet in/near the basket. Questions? Please contact Mary Kay or Ron Graver.

Prayer Shawls

Do you know someone who would appreciate being wrapped in prayer, during good times or challenging times? The Prayer Shawl Ministry would love to share their needlework! Please contact Karen Guter to arrange to receive one for yourself or someone you know.

Do you need financial assistance with groceries, rent or medication? We have some funds available to help. Contact one of your pastors.
