Week of 07.13.2025

Today

Water the Roots. This July, join our moderators in Fellowship Hall after worship for meaningful conversation and connection. Each week, we’ll explore questions designed to help us get to know one another more deeply and support the important transition work happening at Plymouth. Stay tuned — a brief survey may follow at the end of the four-week series.

Sundays in July after worship, join Pastor Pam for a book study on The Tears of Things: Prophetic Wisdom for an Age of Outrage by Richard Rohr (available in hard copy or e-book; visit Old Firehouse Books to buy in town). "Richard Rohr offers a wholehearted and hope-filled model for the world today, grounded in the timeless wisdom of the Hebrew prophets." Learn more and sign up at plymouthucc.org/events.
