Potluck Picnic | Sunday, September 14, following Worship | Beecher Garden

To welcome the fall season, we are firing up the grills and pulling out the red checkered tablecloths for a church-wide cookout after worship.

It is potluck—the more the dishes, the merrier the picnic! Bring your friends and family! Come eat and fellowship and enjoy the (hopefully good) weather in Beecher Garden.

Las Abogadas Film Screening | Sunday, September 14, 2-4:00 PM | Reception Room

Plymouth's ministry is sponsoring a showing of Las Abogadas: Attorneys on the Frontlines of the Migrant Crisis. The film follows a group of women immigration attorneys as they help desperate people in Mexico get the legal support they need for their brave journey. As the developing political fight in Washington DC upends all protections for those fleeing violence and war, the lawyers' compassionate actions in Mexico respond to the ensuing humanitarian crisis. 

The story gives us an intimate view into the reality migrants face and the impact of our government's actions. Following the screening, we will hear from a panel of lawyers working on the New York side of the crisis. Please reserve your seat online.

A Lecture by David Felsen | Wednesday, September 17, 7:00 PM | Reception Room

We are excited to be welcoming David Felsen to our upcoming Henry Ward Beecher Lecture Series. In his book New York City Monuments of Black Americans, Felsen tells the inspiring stories behind 30 monuments of black Americans in New York City including Plymouth’s own Henry Ward Beecher statue with the Edmonson sisters seated on his right. In 1848, Mary (15) and Emily (13) Edmonson were about to be sent to New Orleans and sold into prostitution. Their father, Paul Edmonson, appealed to Henry Ward Beecher who raised the funds to procure their freedom. Doors will open at 6:30 PM.

Being the Church: Plymouth Fall Retreat | Save the Date! October 24-26 | Camp DeWolfe, Wading River, NY

Where should the church seek out its vision? How central is caring for others to the mission of the church? What will lead church members to share life with one another? How can we ensure that the spirit of the church is genuine? How can the story of the Church become part of our own story?

As a community of faith, we need to imagine what’s possible with God, who calls the holy (though imperfect) church: to enjoy each other’s company, break bread together, pray for one another, joyfully give thanks, and live in the fresh wind of the Spirit. During our retreat weekend together, we will devote ourselves to studying, listening to God, praying and playing together, sharing food, and worshipping. Register here.
