  • Summer Pickup Choir returns on 6/28. We will rehearse that morning beginning at 8:30 a.m., then sing at the 10:00 service. All welcome! If you would like the music ahead of time, please contact Marshall using form under his bio here.
  • Today's guest preacher Nathan Hall is a husband, dad, activist, advocate, and hospital chaplain. His rich history and unique experiences in the church help him relate to those in the LGBTQ+ community who have been injured in the name of God and mend the chasm that has been created between them and the spiritual.
  • Sun., 6/28 will be Marshall's "send-off"! Please join the Chancel Choir and Plymouth Ringers in offering words of gratitude and well wishes, as that will be Acting Dir. of Music Marshall Jones's final Sunday with us. We will have cake to celebrate and thank Marshall for his many musical gifts he has shared with us.
