๐Ÿ•Š️ Pastor’s Corner: Jesus is our true gift!! 

Last Saturday, our family celebrated Hannah’s 7th birthday! Each of her siblings thoughtfully prepared gifts and cards for her. Hannah was delighted with her presents, but the most wonderful gift of all was her siblings themselves—who had been thinking of her needs and desires with so much love! Grace even got her a little chef’s hat for her endless culinary adventures in the kitchen.

A.W. Tozer once wrote:

"God’s gifts are many; His best gift is one. It is the gift of Himself."

Jesus gave us Himself to heal and save us from all our pain in body, mind, and spirit!

A warm welcome to Greg for joining us in worship!

Thank you all so much for thinking of me, loving me, and helping me grow into a true shepherd. Here is a special letter of gratitude from my heart to yours!
“To receive grace is to vow to let that grace flow through us to others.”

Unbroken Faith by Samantha Hayman

Image
                                          My name is Samantha, and this is a hard story to tell because I am still living it. 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...

  ๐Ÿ•Š️ Pastor’s Corner: Extraordinary Love Dear Church Family, Last weekend, our home was filled with so many dear friends from Houlton, Maine, who drove all the way down to deliver a very special farewell gift from Houlton UMC: our beloved piano! We felt so deeply blessed and honored to receive this gift. This piano holds countless memories of worship, praise, and shared love through the years. The reason they donated this beautiful gift to us was to help us continue praising God with the same love we shared with all in Houlton, now here in Wellfleet! ❤️๐ŸŽน  It was such a gift to share sweet fellowship with our former lay members, though our hearts were also heavy with sad news from Maine: Our dear friends, the Henderson family (who have four children close in age to ours), tragically lost their home in a house fire last Monday. One of our children’s beloved grandfathers, Bob Cowperthwaite , is near the end of his earthly journey. After talking with them over FaceTime, we coul...
