Worship

Engage your mind and heart in worship

Worship at Plymouth honors a tradition of prophetic preaching, extraordinary music, and thoughtful prayer that touches and transforms our lives in meaningful ways. We find inspiration in seeing the face of God in our gathered congregation.

Worship Schedule

Starting May 26, First Service meets at 9 a.m. in the Chapel, Second Service meets at 10:30 a.m., in the Theater. All-ages Church School will begin June 2, at 9:45 a.m. These service time and place changes accommodate our floor-refinishing projects in the Sanctuary, Guild Hall and the Parlor.

Creative and jazz-focused, sharing the sermon and text with Second Service.

[on hiatus until fall] Sundays at 10 am | Education hour for people of all ages has a variety of spiritual formation offerings, which we encourage everyone to attend.

10:30 am | Second Service, in the Theater
Music at this service is extraordinary, drawn from the 14th century to today, with world premieres and excellent guest artists giving worshippers the opportunity to sing in unity and joy. Philip Brunelle, our organist-choirmaster, is renowned internationally for his musical and choral expertise.

Rev. Donald Patterson and Seth Patterson will offer a shared Father’s Day Dialogue on June 16.

“No matter to what faith tradition you belong, you’re invited to join us at this table. As we gather we’re reminded that this is not our table, but the table of Christ who welcomes all.”

Those are the words our clergy begin with when we celebrate Communion. All people, including children of all ages, are welcome at Plymouth’s Communion table.
