Wherever you find yourself in your spiritual journey, we invite you to join us for our Easter celebration, a service rich with tradition and community.

Beautiful music is also a part of Easter at Plymouth. This year, the Plymouth Choir, under the direction of Bruce Oelschlager, will sing the final resurrection movements of the Brahms "Requiem" accompanied by brass quartet. The doors of the Sanctuary, at 57 Orange Street between Hicks and Henry Streets, open at 10:30. 

Easter Egg Hunts in the gardens on Orange and Cranberry Streets follow the service.

PLYMOUTH'S 2012 LENTEN JOURNEY: "Back to Basics"

This Lenten season, as Plymouth Church prepares for Easter, we have honored the ancient discipline of Lent, a journey designed for spiritual growth and community building."Back to Basics" is the theme of Plymouth's 2012 Lenten journey, a focus on the assigned lectionary scripture lessons, the texts that set forth the basics upon which Christian spirituality is built.

 HOLY WEEK AT PLYMOUTH

Sunday, April 1 • 11:00 a.m.
Palm-Passion Sunday Worship Service
Processional gathers at 10:45 on Orange Street in front of Beecher Garden.

Monday, April 2 • 7:00 p.m.
Lenten Lectionary Bible Study
The final session of our "Preparing for Sunday" Bible Study, led by Rev. Fisher and Rev. Bunis, meets to discuss the lectionary with an eye towards preparing our thoughts and responses for that Sunday's sermons. (In a sense, we'll be collaborating with our pastors on the content of the sermon.) "Preparing for Sunday" is designed for everyone at every level, whether beginner or advanced, and requires no special preparation. Since each meeting is a stand-alone class, it's fine if you can't attend all four. Participation is free of charge. A light dinner will be served, and childcare provided free of charge. Please join us.

Thursday, April 5 • 6:30 p.m.
Maundy Thursday Agape Feast and Communion
The Agape Feast -- a tradition as old as the church itself -- is a family-friendly event open to all ages (please note that nursery care will NOT be provided). The people of Plymouth gather to share a potluck Lenten supper much as the ancient Christians did. Please bring an entree, side dish or dessert to share, plus a bottle of wine for communion (bread will be provided). Together we will practice the lessons we've been learning during our Lenten spiritual journey. RSVP during Fellowship Hour this Sunday, or contact Amy Talcott in the Church Office.

Friday, April 6 • 7:00 p.m.
Good Friday Tenebrae Worship Service
Plymouth observes this solemn day with the shadow and stillness of a Tenebrae Service beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary. This opportunity for prayer and meditation upon Christ's Seven Last Words is a powerful prelude to the celebration of Easter. Nursery care will be available beginning at 6:30 for children in Grades 1 and under.
