Leaf raking day
A day of warm fellowship
December 7th –  8:30 am  to 1 pm 

The seasons go round and round. Summer yields to Fall and it’s beautiful colors, smells and warmth begrudgingly yields to winter. Yet this is how the blessed creation prepares for the new life of spring. The community here at Plymouth has for generations now celebrated the change of season with a day of fellowship together clearing leaves from those areas that need to be cleared for the children activities and for reducing building maintenance. The work of clearing leaves is secondary to the opportunity to come together in common effort. A time for catching up with one another and meeting members of the community that one has not known before. Amidst the stories and the laughter, the moving of leaves becomes lighter. Any chill that the weather may bring is easily dispelled by the multitude of soups. chilies and deserts that await the hard workers of the day.

Come for all or any portion of the day. We will begin around 8:30 and break for lunch around 11:30. Bring a rake if you have one, if not there are always extra about. We clear the leaves without aid of blowers in keeping with the communities Green Minute to reduce the use of carbon in activities on the Meeting Grounds. We rake only the areas needed in respect to the role that leaves and dying plants play in the ecosystem.
