2019 Youth Retreat

  • This August the youth from Plymouth joined forces with the youth from the First Congregational Church of Ithaca for a two-day retreat.

  • On a damp day, they visited Matthew 25 farm and harvested produce. They dug up potatoes.

  • Here the potatoes are being weighed.

  • They picked and sorted tomatoes.

  • They helped press cider.

  • They got a tour of the greenhouse at the Brady Faith Center’s Urban Farm.

  • … and painted rocks for the garden.

  • The youth continued Plymouth’s partnership with the Rescue Mission, working at the newly acquired home that will serve as a youth homeless shelter.

  • Fence painting!

  • What teamwork!

  • The Plymouth crew – proud to help out on this project that was partially funded by Plymouth’s Capital Campaign.
