Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled.
Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. —Luke 6:20-21
As followers of Jesus, we know the joy of giving ourselves away. Serving connects our faith to community and brings us into God’s transforming work. Plymouth has many chances to serve in our broader community and in our own church. Take a look through these opportunities and find a time to give yourself in love.
Mission Offering: May is for Mothers
Support our anti-human trafficking partner Restore NYC as they care for and support mothers who are human trafficking survivors. 64% of their clients are mothers with children. Our offering will be matched by Plymouth's Christian Help Ministry #PlymouthCares - and by a generous donor of Restore. A double match!
We look to raise $2500 to cover rent expenses for a mother and her children for one month.
Baked Goods for Mexico | Sunday, May 18
The Mexico Mission Trip volunteers are hosting a bake sale before Plymouth's Annual Meeting, on May 18. All money raised will go to help offset the costs of the trip. Can you contribute a yummy treat to help them on our mission to build a house for a family in need? Bring to church on May 18. Contact Beth Fleisher with any questions.
Be a Worship Usher
Our worship depends on the hospitable presence of our ushers. They welcome us to worship, collect the offering, and make sure everyone is taken care of. Will you consider serving as a Sunday morning usher too? Sign up to be an usher one Sunday this fall by following the link or reaching out to Lesley-Ann.
