Worship at Plymouth
|
Worship is at the center of our communal life as a congregation.
Orienting our lives toward God brings us together in song, prayer, learning, silence, and story. Children are always welcome in worship, and we have professional childcare for ages four and under during Sunday services. Our worship style is warm, welcoming, and vibrant, and draws on progressive biblical scholarship, fresh prayers, imagination, community involvement, and rests on a centuries-old heritage. Our faith is 2,000 years old…our thinking is not. Scroll to the end of the page for Worship FAQ. |
