Creative Arts at Plymouth

Plymouth’s time-honored tradition of incorporating the arts into the life of the community continues with long-standing groups and ad-hoc arts meet-ups created as needs arise. In addition to groups listed below, visual arts and other creative expressions are woven into children’s and youth classes and rehearsals and scheduled throughout the year. Examples include senior high collaborative creations coordinating with specific topics, classes and studios with professional artists, and liturgical dancing.

Contact Creative Arts Director Beth Ann Edwards to learn more about any of our programs, or to present ideas for future arts events.

Chancel Arts

Worship consists of many elements. The pastoral staff preaches. The choirs sing. And the Chancel Arts Committee brings it all alive visually! This group of creative artists works with fabric and a variety of materials to:

• Design and create banners and other works on a grand scale to enhance the Sanctuary and highlight seasons of the church year.

• Involve people of all ages and abilities in a fun, creative group.

• Meet on an as-needed basis.

Drama/Theatre

This collective of people interested in the dramatic arts partner together in various iterations for dramatic presentations 1-3 times per year. We often make presentations “on script” to keep the commitment level manageable and allow more people the opportunity to participate. Spread your dramatic wings and join us!

Scripture Presentation Group

Scripture readers collaborate with the pastoral staff and worship leaders to present readings from the Bible and written works that support the liturgy and sermons. Hearing new voices during worship bring a new perspective to the written word and  reconnect with scripture’s time-honored history of aural transmission.

Christmas Committee

The atrium Christmas Tree and other trees and wreaths throughout the building have become a beloved tradition at Plymouth. The Christmas Committee meets twice a year: once to decorate at the beginning of Advent, and once to un-decorate soon after January 6. Planning takes place throughout the year, as needed.
