Welcome to Plymouth Park United Methodist Church

Student Outreach

Tomorrow is our final Student Outreach for the school year! It time for our annual “School’s out for the summer!” party on the lawn outside. We’ve got a huge inflatable obstacle course coming, we’ll have the volleyball net up, and we’ll be grillin’ and chillin’!

The big inflatable will be here by 5:30, and we’ll fire up the grill for hot dogs about 6 pm. Bring out your friends and join us as we celebrate the end of another great year.

VBS Training

If you plan to help with Vacation Bible School this summer, please be sure to attend the Youth Training meeting from 5:30-6 pm this Wednesday in the Youth Hall.

Burgers for Biloxi

Don’t forget about our big fundraiser this Sunday for our upcoming mission trip this summer. “Burgers for Biloxi” will be Memorial Day Sunday, May 26th, immediately following the 11 am service.

Join us for a picnic in the courtyard or the Fellowship Hall for freshly grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, chips and coleslaw. The cost will be just $8 for adults and children over 5, and $5 for the little ones 5 and under. A family meal ticket will be $22. Desserts will be extra.

All proceeds will go toward the Senior High Mission Trip June 14-22, where our Senior High youth will help build homes for people displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Summertime

Plans are well underway for a full summer of opportunities for service, fun and hanging out with your friends. The calendars are in the mail as we speak!

It is not too late for Senior High Mission trip. If you or someone you know is interested in the trip, please let Peg know ASAP!
