Dear Members and Friends,
FAMILY SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP
Come join us for the First Sunday after Christmas December 29th at 9:00am, in person or Zoom. Rev. Charlotte will lead worship with Music Minister Sean McMahon. This will be a special Family Worship post-Christmas service with Story and a Carol Sing plus Blessing of the CWS Blankets of Love. Come join us to play “Name the Christmas Carol” and sing the songs one last time before they are packed away for another year. There will be no Sunday School so we will all be together. Worship order attached. Zoom link below. YES, there is heat!
A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS EVE!
On Tuesday we held our traditional Lessons and Carols Service. Rev. Charlotte led along with beautiful cello/guitar music by Violet Southwick and Sean McMahon. The service included the singing of Christmas carols, reading the scripture story of Jesus’ birth, and passing the light from the Christ Candle to those gathered. With over 80 friends and family we became the “Light of the World” and our lit candles symbolized the hope we find in Christ’s light that breaks through the darkness. Read more about it here.
DECEMBER PROJECT- CWS Blankets of Love Ministry
During December the Chilmark Church participated in the Church World Service (CWS) Blanket ministry.We were a part of a broad-reaching mission that provided our neighbors experiencing poverty, displacement or disaster with a warm blanket to comfort them in their time of need. Join with us this Sunday as we bless our blanket collection – over 23 blankets so far! Photos: CWS Blankets prepared for distribution.
