We are so excited that so many of you have been joining us in Focus these last few Sundays.  And if you haven’t, we hope you will join us soon. We have been working hard on an original musical: “An Advent Tale.” “An Advent Tale” is a musical with traditional and contemporary songs put together by focus leaders Heather Hawkins Weinland and Ann Allen. The story of advent is told through story, song, poetry, and dance. The focus actors will lead us on a journey through this waiting and expectant time helping all of us-of all ages prepare for the coming of the Messiah. It has been such a pleasure to work with focus and see this story come to life through the eyes of our young actors and singers-we look forward to sharing it with you in worship on December 13  at 11:00 a.m.

The Adult Education Board invites you to a discussion about the three Abrahamic religions on Monday, December 7, from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. in the church library. This informal meeting is in response to persons who signed up for further discussion after attending a recent Plymouth Forum about the three religions having their roots in    Abraham, namely Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. For additional information contact Ed Geller (phone 206/232-3102, e-mail hanggel@aol.com).

Thanksgiving Weekend has special meaning for Plymouth this year as we give thanks for the eleven-yearministry of Kristine Anderson Ostrem after the 11:00 a.m. worship service on November 29. We will celebrate Kris’s gifts and presence among us at a reception in Hildebrand Hall following the 11:00 a.m. Worship Service. Finger food will be provided. We especially welcome all  children to join us in thanking Kris for her leadership of our Church School. Please mark this special Sunday of Thanksgiving Weekend as our extended family embraces the Ostrem Family in gratitude. Questions? Diane Kenny ( 324-6811); Connie Sandstrom ( 784-4925); Robin Appleford (463-6237).
