VBs is right around the corner!
We are super excited to be joining the Children's Minister at First Presbyterian Church for VBS from Cokesbury Press this summer. Plymouth kids are invited to join Miss Brooklyn there, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on weekdays June 6th through the 10th. Register here! Stay tuned as we will be shifting towards weekly Sunday School and Godly Play in the Fall.
Sunday Mornings for Children
We believe that children are a vital part of the church, and we welcome them into every part of worship at Plymouth. That means we welcome their giggles, wiggles, and everything in-between! During each service, we invite children to the front of the sanctuary for an interactive teaching moment related to big ideas we will be engaging that morning.
We also know that sitting still through services can be hard for some children. We want Plymouth to be a place where parents can connect without worrying about quieting their kids. In our Fellowship Hall, we have a Children's Worship station, packed with books, coloring pages, and toys that your family is welcome to use. Our nursery is offered as an open playroom during both services for all wiggly worshipers. Learn more about the nursery here. |

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.
