This July, our children will explore what it means to be part of a family—both the families we are born into and the family of God. Through the story of Abraham, they’ll discover that families experience both challenges and joys, and that God is always present. We’ll talk about trusting God’s promises, praying for those we love, caring for one another, and remembering that everyone has a place in God’s family.
Elementary Performing Arts Camp
We’re excited to welcome young artists to First-Plymouth Performing Arts Camp, July 27–31. This week-long day camp gives elementary students the chance to explore choir, drumming, handbells, drama, and dance with talented instructors, building skills and confidence along the way. The week concludes with a special showcase performance on Friday afternoon. Registration is currently full, and we look forward to seeing our campers share their gifts this summer.

Rainforest Falls VBS campers in June were challenged each day with a Penny Drive. They collected a total of $1,263.59 (over 40lbs) over the course of the week with over $800 raised on the last day alone. The donations will go to a local organization called Big Gumdrop Outdoors, which helps connect urban youth to nature and the outdoors.

Thank you, First-Plymouth, for your prayers, encouragement, and support of our High School Service Trip. Our youth spent the week serving their neighbors, growing in faith, and building lasting friendships. We are incredibly proud of the way they represented our church, with hard work, kindness, compassion, and joy. Thank you for helping make this meaningful experience possible.
