The full retreat starts with dinner on Friday and ends after breakfast on Sunday. Since some First Plymouth Men cannot spend the entire weekend on the retreat, we have redesigned it to enable attendance at just the Saturday portion at a reduced rate. The Retreat Center is very accessible and is only 30 minutes from the church. Women's Retreat - September 17-19, 2010.
Calling all women! Please join us at La Foret Conference and Retreat Center for our annual Women's Retreat.

The glory of Rome. The grandeur of Florence. The time-capsule oddities of Pompeii, the magnificence of the Amalfi Coast, and the sheer beauty and improbability of Venice. For centuries, Italy has enchanted travelers with its history, art, and rugged natural beauty. In November of 2011, First Plymouth will join a long tradition of visiting Italy's many magnificent locales. Rev. Eric C. Smith, First Plymouth's Youth and Young Adult Director, will be leading a trip to Italy in 2011. We'll depart on October 31st and return November 10th, and along the way we'll visit Venice, Florence, Pisa, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, and Rome. Airfare and all ground transportation, all hotels, all entrance fees, all breakfasts and most dinners, and English-speaking guides throughout are included in the price of $2699. You do not need to be a member of First Plymouth to participate, so feel free to invite your friends to come along!
