Puffball Snowman, made by a Plymouth child in 2013 at an activity in the Plymouth Schoolhouse Community Center.

12/3/17

The weather remains amazing with so little snow and fairly warm temps, although by the time this is published, the forecast is calling for rain and snow. We know it is coming!

I imagine that by the time of the Memory Tree Lighting Ceremony at 4:00 PM on Saturday, 12/16 takes place, the ground may be seasonably white at the Community Center. Everyone is invited to come at 2:30 to view a Christmas movie shown in the Activity Room, where cookies, juice, coffee and tea will be served. Bring your voice to join in the Christmas caroling as well! This time will also provide an opportunity for children to play in the classroom at the Plymouth Schoolhouse Childcare and for others to peruse the Plymouth Historical Society exhibits.

To continue the community theme for the entire weekend, consider attending the Annual Community Candlelight Service at 7:00 PM on 12/17 at Tyson Church. This year we will have special music by John Hennelly performing Christmas Hallelujah, plus a children’s story. The singing of Christmas carols including Silent Night with the lighting of candles all around the sanctuary with close our service, but plan to come downstairs to share cookies and finger food with us.

Although a week early, I don’t want to forget to congratulate Betty Ann and Bob Hayward on their 50th wedding anniversary coming up on 12/16
