Retired People Talking About Being Retired | Saturday, September 26, 9:00 AM | Parsonage

Richard Rohr writes, “As we grow older, we are being awakened to deep, simple, and mysterious things we simply could not see when we were younger.” How does being retired effect our spirituality? How is not being defined by a job a gift or a burden? How has retirement changed the way we pray or the way we care for others?   

A group of retired Plymouth folks will get together for an hour or so to talk about faith and being retired. Let Brett know if you would like to be a part. 

New to Plymouth? Start here | Sunday, September 27 & October 4, 9:45 AM

Discover Plymouth is a great place for newcomers to meet other Plymouth people, to learn about the congregation’s history, theology, worship, and ministry opportunities, and to begin to plug into the community. Our ministerial team is leading the two-part session for anyone seeking to join an engaged church community, or simply curious about Plymouth. We are looking forward to talking with you.

History at Plymouth Church: Theodore Hamm, Brooklyn Historian
TUESDAy September 29, 7:00 PM | Reception Room | Free Admission

Join us for a lecture by historian Theodore Hamm, speaking on his book Frederick Douglass in Brooklyn.

Ted Hamm is the editor of Frederick Douglass in Brooklyn, a collection of the legendary abolitionist's speeches. According to The New York Times' Sam Roberts, Hamm "persuasively and passionately makes the case that Brooklyn became a powerful forum" for Douglass. Plymouth's Henry Ward Beecher and Theodore Tilton became two of Douglass' foremost allies.

Hamm chairs the journalism program and teaches New York City history at St. Joseph's University, New York, in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.

Blessing of the Animals | Sunday, October 4, 3:00 PM | Beecher Garden

When we say “all are welcome,” we mean it. Join us in Beecher Garden. No RSVP required.
