Dear Members and Friends,
SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP
You are invited to join us for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost July 7th at 9:00am, in person or Zoom. Rev. Charlotte will be leading worship and communion with Sean McMahon, Music Minister. Sermon is titled “Dusting Off” from Mark 6:1-13 where Jesus sends out his disciples to preach, teach and heal. Worship order attached. Sunday School is available. Zoom link below.
On Thursday July 18th at 1pm the church will be hosting a memorial service and reception for Carol Loud, a long time islander and our church musician, who passed away late last year. Phil Dietterich, our favorite organist, is forming a choir for the occasion and would like to rehearse at 2pm on Sunday July 7th at Trinity Church OB and Sunday July 14th at 2pm at Federated Church EDG. All participants should be able to read music.
CHILMARK CHURCH FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN 2024
The Chilmark Community Church is now an inclusive, non-denominational, independent church. It fulfills the important role of the local church and continues to serve many people in our island community. The church needs to replenish the funds which were expended to become disaffiliated from the UMC, as well as needed capital improvements to both the church and parsonage.
In the upcoming weeks we will start the silent or initial phase of the campaign. The Fundraising Committee (Julie, Judy and Emily) is seeking 100% support and participation from the church members before they reach out to the public. We know that you all give generously to our church already (time, talent & treasure), but we need a strong statement to those we will be approaching outside the church for donations. One member has agreed to start the Campaign 2024 donations with $1,000 check. Our goal is $500,000. To give, make the check out to Chilmark Church with Campaign 2024 in memo. We look forward to seeing you all at the Celebration Event (more information to follow) for church and community on Sunday, September 15. There will be an official announcement about Campaign 2024 at that time.
NEW MEMBERS TO JOIN
