First Church, Future Church Acts Bible Study | Sundays, September 28, October 5 & 12, 9:45 AM | Reception Room

Sometimes we make the mistake of acting as if the church was our idea. When we envision the church that we need to be, we should start by looking at the first Church. On three Sundays, Brett will lead a conversation about what Acts 2, 3, and 4 tell us about being Christ’s church. God continues to call Plymouth to be part of an ancient, contemporary story and a holy, interesting people. 

A Lecture by Nancy Koester | Tuesday, October 7, 7:00 PM | Reception Room

Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, converted thousands to the anti-slavery cause. It also won her fierce enemies and harsh critics. Using fiction based on fact, Stowe exposed slavery as a system based on lies, driven by greed, and enforced by cruelty. Her protest novel became the bestseller of the century. More than mere entertainment, this was a cry for justice.

Nancy Koester, author of Harriet Beecher Stowe: A Spiritual Life explores with you this compelling story of a woman who dared to tell the truth about slavery.

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.
