Dear Members and Friends
SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP
You are invited to join us for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost July 28th at 9:00am, in person or Zoom. Rev. Charlotte will be leading worship with Sean McMahon our Music Minister. Sermon is titled “Abundance” from John 6:1-21 where Jesus feeds the crowd a Happy Meal of loaves and fishes. Sunday School is available after the first hymn. Worship order attached. Zoom link below.
Rev. Charlotte will be away July 29-August 4th for CT parent visit and respite (hopefully!).
A huge thank you to Pam Goff (organ), granddaughter Cassidy Goff (banjo) and Patrick Lydon (guitar), guest musicians in Sean’s absence last Sunday. Good luck to FRUTE on their upcoming tour. Please come visit us again soon.

LOBSTER ROLLS – FIFTH WEEK SUCCESS!
Total sold out Tuesday and at Flea Market Wednesday morning (thank you Corie, Virginia and Sarah) was 290+!
We welcomed Drew Kennedy to the Tuesday crew. There are also now two 90+ year old workers on lobster duty. The funds raised at this sale is a major contributor to the Chilmark Church’s ongoing day to day Operating Budget.
Picture is last year’s crew relaxing at end-of-season party!

Connie Williams broke out her 90 year old dancing feet in front of her gathered birthday crowd last Sunday. Her grandson Noah presented her with her well earned cake. Connie, your youthful spirit is contagious and many more dances ahead!

GUEST PREACHER – SUNDAY AUGUST 4th
The Rev. Nell Fields will be leading Chilmark Church on Sunday August 4 in Charlotte’s absence. Some of you may remember her from when she preached here as a seminary student some years ago. Nell joined the Waquoit Congregational Church UCC (East Falmouth) as minister in October 2010. Since starting at Waquoit, Nell has initiated a number of new ministries on the Cape, including Safe Plates, an annual fundraiser for various social justice causes; the Waquoit Farmers Market; a yearly Animal Blessing and Animal Fair for area nonprofit animal groups to raise awareness and donations; Falmouth Builds Together, a community-wide effort to provide the needed resources to help build Habitat for Humanity homes in Falmouth, and the state’s first “Death Café,” a monthly gathering for people to talk about that taboo subject – death. It will be a delight to see and welcome her again. Ask her about her vineyard hitchhiking story.
