Online Sunday School
This winter, we are trying out Sunday School lessons online via Zoom. Each Thursday, Brooklyn will send out a Zoom link via email. We will be going live from the church from 10:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Together, we will have some hands-on fun and hear a story out of the Sparkhouse lectionary.
Hopefully, this will work out well for families who attend either livestream. If your family is here in person, you and your child are welcome to join Brooklyn in the North Room. We will be wearing masks, sitting at our own tables, and we will have windows open whenever possible. We are praying that soon, it will be safer for our community of children to gather in person again. We hope that as the vaccine becomes more available to children, we will be able to return to Sunday School indoors. Learn more about getting your child vaccinated.

The Zoom link gets sent out on Thursdays. If you missed it, please contact Brooklyn.

Advent from afar
We want to support Advent at home for our families again this year. Last year, Tricia sent out Faithful Families for Christmas and Advent by Traci Smith. We will be turning back there for more ideas for making this season sacred.
The Advent Craft Night will also be sent home in kits during Sunday School time on December 5th. Let us know if you would like a copy of Smith's book and get registered for craft kits by November 20th! |

Worth a Look
Has your child experienced bullying, or maybe a friend has and you don’t know what to say? Have you or your family experienced anti-Asian discrimination? This short video from Learning for Justice is worth a look.

Christian Formation at Home
Each month, families receive the Christian Formation newsletter via email. This newsletter will keep grown-ups up-to-date on family ministry events and what we are learning in Sunday School. On Thursdays, families receive emails that have all the important information about the coming Sunday School lesson. Register to get added to our mailing list.
Pen Pals
During the pandemic, Plymouth has worked hard to reach out to children with special activities. Many of our children and members have joined together as pen pals. Some “pals” have been together for over a year now. Kids receive holiday symbols like shamrocks or hearts to encourage them to write-or color to their pen pals.
