On August 20, 2026, I was riding my motorcycle when a car pulled out and hit me. In one instant, my whole life changed. I was badly hurt—my pelvis, ribs, lung, and both wrists were injured—and I was rushed to the hospital. I went from being very active and independent to needing help with almost everything. But there is something from that day I will never forget. My first words to the woman who hit me were, “I forgive you.” Later, I kept thinking, How did those words even come out of my mouth? I truly believe they came from God, not from me. I am not angry with her. I do not understand why this happened, and I do not have every answer. But I know God was with me in that moment, and He is still with me now. Recovery has been part of my life for a long time. Go...

A Brief History of Wellfleet United Methodist Church by Dwight Esty

Image
  The Early Methodist Community The Methodist presence in Wellfleet dates back to the early nineteenth century. Methodist preaching began in the area in the late 1700s, and a Methodist society was formally organized in Wellfleet in 1802. At first, Methodists gathered for worship in private homes and other meeting places.  As the congregation grew, the members recognized the need for a permanent place of worship. In 1817, they built the first Methodist meetinghouse on the hill north of the village, at what is now the Methodist section of Pleasant Hill Cemetery. The original building measured approximately 40 by 38 feet.  The congregation continued to grow, and the building was enlarged in 1829 to approximately 60 by 38 feet. It became an important center of Methodist worship and community life in Wellfleet. The Move to the Present Location As the Methodist congregation continued to grow, a larger and more suitable church building was needed. In 1842, the congregation moved...
