Over 30 friends tonight. Glad to have some return from the winter away.
Days are getting longer. While the older people talked or played Bananagrams, the young enjoyed a warm spring evening.
There was a project (after tag)..
It had to do with grass and rocks…
And it was peaceful.

After an Easter Vigil Saturday night, with wonderful music by the Chilmark Church band ( Eunji on cello, Emily on violin, Carol on recorder and Seongmoon on guitar, Irene on violin and Bette on harmonica were away or sat out this performance), we celebrated Easter with special music by Sandy Bittermann Atwood.

Emily Broderick gave a rousing Children’s sermon complete with an empty box gift wrapped and shocking empty eggs that the kids waited to open together. Their surprise was quickly moderated by some eggs with candy in them. But they really “got” the empty tomb.
Below: Easter Egg hunt after church.
The chief gave the little kids a head start.
Big kids off and running.
baskets full
The Empty tomb is followed by full baskets. A good morning!

The Saturday before Easter, a bright blue afternoon for taking down the dangling cross.
THE STEEPLE CROSS AFTER HURRICANE SANDY
Roy Riley and Mark Clements arrived with Mark’s truck.
Mark had to tell Roy how to operate the boom.
Roy starts the ride up.
Slowly, adjusting so he won’t knock the steeple….
He reaches the top.. The cross is loose enough to pull off.
The ride down begins. He can see water in every direction. Can he remember which knob controls which part of the boom?
With Roy down safely, Mark puts the truck to bed.
Mark Clements on his truck. THANK YOU, MARK!
Look for the next installment: Repairing the Old Copper Cross.

Keeping the pipes in order.
Bob Hungerford knows everything!
On a cold February afternoon, Bob Conway, Bob Hungerford and Clark Goff met to try to correct the rattle in the organ pipes when certain tones were played. Bob Hungerford has worked on pipes before.
They succeeded in tightening some of the fastening by which the pipes attach to the pins in the case and that seems to have done the trick.

After a beautiful dedication ceremony at morning worship, 7 Island organists showed off the new Russell Pipe Organ. Stephen and Carole Russell were in the standing room only audience to hear the fabulous sounds. Phil Dietterich was the morning speaker and the expert member of the Organ Committee. Chilmark Church is indebted to him for much: For inspiring us with his words and music, for organizing the wonderful concert, and for composing a beautiful piece of music, “Chilmark Autumn” which he introduced at the afternoon concert.
