Go to All Peoples:
Transforming Community with Disciples

For 2010, the plan is to spend all year excavating, exploring, and being formed by the many ideas this theme can ignite. Three things will form the core of what we will hopefully achieve this year together:

1. 2010 will not be all about us! Our theme verses are Matthew 28:19-20, known by many as “The Great Commandment.” The theme begins like the verses do, though “Go to All Peoples” is my translation, rather than the typical, “Go, therefore, and make…”
2. That begins by reigniting our innate love for community!
3. Our community is unique: We are Disciples of Christ!

Fourth Sunday Youth Events

This month, the fourth Sunday is January 24, and we’ve been invited by Becky B and Lorn B to come over for pizza and a movie (and, rumor has it, ice cream sundaes…). Simple, low key, this is a perfect chance to relax, bring friends and otherwise hang out outside the church.

Arrive by 3. The show begins soon after.
Pastor Shane wants to know how many to expect, so let him know at church, or via email (pastor@plymouthcreek.org). And if you need a ride, he’ll help you figure that out too.

HeartSong Concert Coming in January

Mark your 2010 calendar for a musical event you won’t want to miss! On Sunday, Jan. 31, 3:30 p.m., a new concert called HeartSong will feature musicians from area churches, including: a 30-piece orchestra, vocalists, violinists, guitarists, pianists, and a worship band. The concert, to be held at Messiah Methodist Church, 17805 Co. Rd. 6, Plymouth, celebrates all the work Interfaith Outreach & Community Partners has done over the past 31 years. No tickets needed; a freewill offering will support IOCP. Please come!

Dear PCCC Family,

Thank you for your most generous Christmas gift.

I will purchase some new music with it and then go shopping for that special something that will remind me of you.

In Christ's love,
Jeremae

Dear "Plymouth Creekers",

Thank you for your kind and generous Christmas gift. I haven't decided what I'm getting yet, but I feel some retail therapy is definitely in order for the near future!

Shalom,
Kimberly

Many thanks for your generous Christmas gift! It helped purchase a new phone, which replaced the old pastor's cell and will greatly improve my chronically underwhelming organizational capacity. So give me a call! I'd love to chat.
