a message from pastor jimmy

can i help?

        We often ask people, "Is there anything I can do to help?"  On behalf of First Christian Plymouth, the answer is YES!!
        Many of you have "stepped up to the plate" in service to God and others here at FCC, especially through these pandemic times, BUT we need all of you to join with us by volunteering your God-given talents and gifts (yes, everyone has some!)  I know we keep saying we are getting smaller in number and older in years.  Even though there is a lot of truth to that statement right now, I am not ready to give up and wave the white flag and I do not think you are either.
        In this newsletter, we have a volunteer survey form that everyone needs to fill out and turn in.  Included are many ways that  you can help.  Look over this list, think about it, pray about it, check the areas you can help, add suggestions if you have any.  More hands make lighter work and remember Who we are "working" for.
        Volunteering is always a blessing, both to those being served as well as the volunteers.  Let us seek to share God's love in service to Him and to others.
