There has been something missing in the hymn singing…you. We are seeking to widen the circle of voices that offers choral music as part of our weekly worship services. Please consider adding your voice to the congregational hymns and perhaps join the Choir as well. We now have the opportunity to include you from your home, and it’s easier than you think. Click the link below to the invitation from our Music
Director, Pamela Goody.

Bless the Animals, Sunday, October 4 |
It's back! After a "paws" for a year, we'll gather, physically distanced, to give God thanks for the glory of the created order and to bless our pets (and pictures of same!)
Meet in front of the Church on Highland Avenue on Sunday, October 4, where we can spread out, at 12 noon.
Per CDC and Mass Board of Health, attendees are required to sign-in when visiting the Church or attending a Church activity. Masks and physically distancing are required. Please sign up here ahead of time.
Interested in a brief protocol-compliant tour of the renovated Chapel and a sample of the new Organ after the blessing? You must let us know on the sign up.

Merriment, Midnight Revels and an Early Boston Organ
The organ in South Dennis on Cape Cod has a sweet tone and a colorful past. A past punctuated by foreign frivolities, Puritan disapproval, revolutionary upheavals, and frequent moves. And now, finally, the organ is enjoying a benign, respectable old age......

Continue to beware of scammer |
Online "phishing" scams continue to target churches and clergy, and they require everyone's awareness and vigilance.
Bishops, clergy and church leaders will never ask for help or donations in this way. Recipients should be skeptical of unexpected e-mail or text message requests to send or spend money or provide urgent assistance. Check the sender’s e-mail address for legitimacy before responding or opening any links or attachments. If a request seems to be authentic, confirm with the requester using known contact information.
The Federal Trade Commission provides information about recent scams, by topic, and how to report them, here.
