Stations of the Resurrection on Orange Street
“What does it mean to experience resurrection now? The world may not have changed the morning Jesus was resurrected, but Jesus changed. And then his resurrection encounters with his followers irrevocably changed them, and changed their communities, that changed the world.”
~Scott Erickson, artist
During this Easter season, visit the Stations of the Resurrection exhibit along our gates on Orange Street.

The Memorial Service of Grace Gray Faison | Saturday, May 23, 4:00 PM | Sanctuary
Grace Faison, a beloved member of Plymouth Church since 1946, passed away on April 26 at the age of 101.
Grace was an unforgettable presence at Plymouth Church. Our congregation was the center of her life. She served on a multitude of committees. She paid attention and shared strong opinions. The Grace Faison Bell Garden rings with her name. “We are all connected,” she believed. “We cannot do it alone.”
The church will celebrate her life at 4:00 PM on Saturday, May 23 in the Sanctuary with a reception to follow.
C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters Reading Group | Starting Sunday, May 31, 9:30 AM | Storrs Library
C.S. Lewis' book, hilarious and terribly serious, outlines the Devil's instructions to his Assistant Demon on the subtle, psychological tactics of temptation to corrupt a human through distraction, pride, and mundane vices. It is an antidote to our current turbulent times. Pick up a copy of the book from church, and join Becky Lewis in reading it. This group will meet three Sundays before worship, May 31, June 7, and June 14 at 9:30 AM. Contact Becky for more info.
AI Ethics + Faith | Sunday, May 31, 1:00 PM | Reception Room
Maybe the recent developments in AI make you feel empowered, or maybe they worry you about what’s coming. Either way, our Christian tradition needs to be a part of the conversation. In the hope of articulating a faithful, ethical response to these rapidly advancing technologies, people of faith should develop a better understanding of the many profound social and theological implications of AI’s widespread adoption. Dr. Isaac Sharp joins us from Princeton Theological Seminary to guide us through this conversation. From questions of justice and human dignity to power, agency, and moral responsibility, we’ll consider how Christian ethics can help us navigate the ethical terrain of emerging technologies.

How does it work?

You miss your Lent group already.
You'd enjoy having church friends who are at different ages and stages.
You're new to Plymouth and are looking to get to know people.
You've been at Plymouth for decades and are looking to get to know new people.
You'd like to settle the great neighborhood debate: which is better, a croissant from L'Appartement 4F or a cinnamon roll from Ferrane?
