MOPS - Mothers of Preschoolers
What is MOPS? Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) believes in the simple but revolutionary idea that remarkable things happen when moms come together. MOPS began in 1973 when a group of moms with young children banded together to share their lives and parenting journeys. Over the past 45 years, MOPS has expanded our reach to include ALL moms. In addition, MOPS partners with churches and organizations worldwide to equip and encourage moms in more than 68 countries.
NEXT MOPS MEET UP

This is a wonderful opportunity for mothers of children ages 0-6 to meet and socialize with one another. For more information contact Director of Faith Formation Kara Holcombe.
Sunday School Registration
We are so excited about our new Sunday School and Choir program for 2022-2023, which begins on Sunday, August 21! Please take the time to register your child for Sunday School and Children’s Choirs here.
Plymouth's Children's Choirs
Plymouth’s Children’s Choirs are part of the Sunday School program. Each choir meets from 10:30-11:00 a.m. on Sundays. All children are welcome and encouraged to participate. In addition, each choir sings for worship several times from August through May. Choirs are a great way to build a love for singing, learning to read music, building singing skills, and having fun with friends.
CHILDREN’S CHOIRS
Cherub Choir (PreK-1st Grade) is directed by Paula Aiken and meets in 205S on the second floor of South Church. In addition to singing, this choir helps build motor skills by including hand and physical movements and instruments. Besides singing for worship, the Cherub Choir sings for the Children’s Christmas Pageant.
Carol Choir (2nd-5th Grade) meets in 204S on the second floor of South Church. In addition to singing, this choir introduces using printed music to build reading skills. The Carol Choir also sings for the Children’s Christmas Pageant and at the 6 p.m. Christmas Eve service with the Chapel and Chancel (adult) Choirs. A highlight of past years has been the presentation of a musical in conjunction with the Chapel Choir.
Chapel Choir (6th – 12th Grade) meets in Althaus Chapel. Moving into the Chapel Choir means building more music reading and singing skills and singing in parts. This choir sings for the Children’s Christmas Pageant and with the Carol and Chancel Choirs at the 6 p.m. Christmas Eve service. Traditionally, this Chapel Choir has presented a musical in conjunction with the Carol Choir.
