July 15 – A “Bach-to-Bach” Sunday
The 10:00am service on Sunday, July 15th will feature the music of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and the talents of both St. Paul’s summer and year-round parishioners.
Ann Martindale will sing
Gott soll allein mein Herze haben
(God alone shall have my heart), from Cantata 169 – a light and melodic aria perfect for a Nantucket summer Sunday morning. Nigel Goss will provide the bass continuo with Joe Hammer on organ.
The postlude is an organ duet for four hands featuring Bob Havery and Joe Hammer. Bob and his wife, Bonnie, are long-time St. Paul’s summer parishioners; both serve on the music department faculty at Westover School in Middlebury, Connecticut. Bob will join Joe on the organ bench for a four-hand transcription of Bach’s
Organ Concerto in C major
, BWV 595.
The choir will sing Bach’s beloved
Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring
from Cantata 147.
Soli Deo Gloria
(Latin for Glory to God alone. Bach wrote the initials "S. D. G." at the end of all his church compositions.)

THANK YOU TO ALL
We had a wonderful day at the Fair thanks to all of you who worked so hard to make it happen. There was an unbelievable outpouring of generous spirit and cooperation which reflects the best of Nantucket and St. Paul’s Church. Over 600 children attended the fair including approximately 300 from the Nantucket Boys & Girls Club Camp, ACK venture Camp, Murray Camp, Nantucket Hotel Kids Camp, and about 45 kid volunteers who helped on Kidstreet.
To all who –
- Wrote a check to underwrite the Fair expenses
- Donated their time and energy to plan and organize
- Donated to or organized the best Silent Auction ever
- “Popped a Cork”, made an hors d’oeuvres, prepped and served
- Set up tents, hauled chairs and tables
- Cleaned and polished so everything sparkled
- Turned a “white elephant” into a treasure
- Made the Book Sale look like a library
- Baked the best goodies on the Island
- Flipped a burger
- Shucked a clam
- Spun cotton candy, made snow cones and popped corn
- Oversaw the games and crafts on Kidstreet
- Painted faces, played Black Jack, chased balls and got
Soak 'n Wet
- Greeted Fair goers with a warm smile and counted kids
- Gave out prizes to very happy children
- Helped break down and store the Fair despite their exhaustion
A special “thank you” to our special friends –
- The Donor who wishes to remain anonymous who
underwrote Kidstreet
- Nantucket Hotel for the Fire Engine & super staff
- New Life Ministries for their uplifting music
- Bill Welch for his wonderful art and commitment to
St. Paul’s Fair
- Lizza Obremski for her Nanpuppets show
