A Message from Patrick

"Eight Days a Week"

Watching our friend and master builder Russ Karber complete our new Memorial Garden pergola last week, a parishioner commented on the wisdom of its graceful octagonal shape. The lack of sharp corners, he observed, makes it easier to move around and through it.

While there is definitely positive "feng shui" in place here, there is also deep tradition guiding this latest addition to our campus. If you have ever taken a close look at our wooden baptismal font or its Kimball-guild crafted aluminum basin, you've noticed that that, too, has eight sides.

Baptismal fonts or their bases have for centuries often been designed in this shape. Ancient builders considered the octagon, a hybrid of the circle (God) and the square (earth-bound humankind) to be the shape of transition. Baptism, offered most powerfully in a full immersion, symbolizes death to the old life and rising to new life with Christ, a transformation mirroring the resurrection.

Once you start looking, octagons are everywhere thresholds matter, from baptisteries to lighthouses to an ancient wind tower that still stands in the middle of Athens. And what else is our Memorial Garden but a place of transition? "Life is changed," reads one of our funeral prayers, "not ended."

The "eighth day" in Christian thought refers to that day "beyond" the more famous seven days of creation. The "eighth day" therefore symbolizes new life, resurrection and the beginning of a new age of love and light.

Together we will bless this revived space after church tomorrow, on the Feast of All Saints. I hope you will come to feel at home in this peaceful new setting on our campus. Along with Russ, parishioners Meredith Perkins, Priscilla Birdsall and Peter Jensen have done much to revive its plantings. Beautifully weathered teak benches and chairs offer comfortable seating. And this lovely new eight-sided shelter offers not only welcoming shade but a peaceful spot in which to remember the dead, give thanks for the living, and prayerfully consider whatever transitions may be pending in your own life.

“So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

See you tomorrow.

Faithfully and fondly,

Upcoming Forums and Sunday Celebrations

Realm® Is Almost Here: Join Us At Coffee Hour November 15

Last month we began introducing you to Realm®, our new church record-keeping system. Now it’s time to see it in action! Come to coffee hour on Sunday, November 15, for an introductory presentation. We’ll show you how the Realm® Connect app works on your phone and computer, talk about privacy and security, and explain how you can update your own information, browse the member directory, and donate right in the app. We’ll also walk you through getting started, and we’re glad to give extra assistance to anyone who would like it.

See you at Coffee Hour on November 15!

Wardens Report

The most beautiful season on the Cape is here, when the weather is lovely, the colors magnificent, and the roads almost empty! As we settle into life without all the visitors, we are reminded again how lucky we are to live in a place where many people spend their precious vacations. 

This fall your vestry is busy making the parish ever more inviting. On the recommendation of Building and Grounds, we approved a project to replace old, uneven, and hazardous concrete walkways on the campus. Work will begin on November 9 and will only take about a week. (Please be careful not to walk on the concrete while it cures!)

The vestry took an informative walk around the outside of the sanctuary recently, noting possible locations for teak benches. These would provide places of respite for those with mobility issues, as well as provide spots to contemplate the beauty that surrounds us in our parklike setting. Keep your eyes open for further enhancements to our life together, already financed by Fund for the Future. Long needed upgrades to our sound systems and updated chairs will add comfort and quality to our time together.

This season we focus on all God has given to us and give thanks for our beloved church community. Be sure to read your Stewardship mailing and thoughtfully, generously decide what you can give back to God. Your pledges support the ongoing ministries and witness on this lovely corner of Monument Road and Route 28.

As always, we value your prayers,

Priscilla Isner and Dianne Fromm, Wardens

Parish Life

Blessing of the Animals followed by Holy Eucharist was held on October 4. Due to inclement weather, pets and their loved ones were all very cozy in the CHS Gallery.

A wonderful article recently appeared in The Provincetown Independent featuring our very own Kimball Guild. Check it out here!

Coffee Hour Assignments for next several weeks:

November 1 - Parish Choir

November 8 - Health Ministry

November 15 - Altar Guild/Flower Guild

It was a historic event at Christ Church, Greenwich, CT on Sunday, September 27, 2026. Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally was welcomed to preach at the 8am and 10am service, followed by a Q&A with the Rector Marek Zabriskie. 

Dame Sarah is the first woman in over 1,400 years to hold the highest religious office in the Church of England, with a global platform across the 165 countries in the Anglican Communion. 

Cheryl Kyle, parishioner at the Church of the Holy Spirit, was pleased to attend the services and to present “Our Treasures Within” by Peter and Paul Reynolds inspired by a virtual gathering held by Pope Francis with children across the globe. The book shines a light on the special gifts within each of us, and inspires us to share them with the world.

Food 4 Kids

Food 4 Kids Is Growing More Sustainable

Taking care of our neighbors is at the heart of our outreach ministry. As community needs have grown, so have the demands on our kitchen, staff, and volunteers. For the past two summers, we’ve prepared nearly 900 lunches a day on our busiest days.

Beginning in summer 2027, we’ll partner with St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Chatham to establish a satellite kitchen. With five meal sites planned to transition to St. Christopher’s, this partnership will bring our daily operations at CHS to a more manageable level while ensuring children across the Lower and Outer Cape continue to receive free summer meals and books.

On Oct 20th, CHS Vestry voted to move forward with this partnership. We’re grateful to St. Christopher’s for sharing in this ministry and helping us build a more sustainable foundation for serving our community. We are pleased that Anne Marie Mullin, our talented Operations Manager, will help lead the charge by contributing to the first Food 4 Kids Playbook with standard operating procedures and hiring decisions. We also look forward to the support of the returning operations staff.

Financially, we are well-positioned for a successful launch of a satellite location. We were awarded $50,000 over 3-years from The Cape Cod Foundation, and anticipate we’ll be awarded two outstanding grants, including $15,000 from the Church Home Society and $5,000 from The Chatham Fund.

Meanwhile, we have been busy this Fall …

• Preparing for and successfully meeting MA DESE’s exacting standards during an audit of processes and records on Oct 6 & 7, 
• Attending a Cape Cod Foundation Catalyst Grant cohort kickoff on October 14 which brought together nine nonprofit leaders to share insights on right-sizing growth and sustainable strategies for funding,
• Being featured in a food insecurity impact video at the Cape & Islands United Way’s Power of the Purse event on Oct 15. To view the video for yourself, click here.

Church School

The Thompsons and Simon had a fun and work-filled fall experience at the Barbara C. Harris Camp this past weekend.  

Our own youth helped out at the 10:00 church service--every fourth Sunday!  

On Thursday, October 29, about 30 youths and their families joined us for pizza and pumpkin carving in the parish hall! A wonderful night for all!

The first Sunday of Advent, we will be making wreaths during coffee hour! Donations of greens are always welcome!!  

Outreach Committee

A Joy-Filled Day with the Children and Parents From Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace Mission statement: Our mission is to nurture healthy and positive futures for children and their families affected by incarceration. We seek to break the cycle of intergenerational incarceration by empowering our Amazing Kids for success.

Amazing Grace is a program that serves the children from Cape Cod and the South Shore who have a family member that is or has been incarcerated. It provides a weeklong camping experience for children (ages 7-11) in a safe and nurturing environment where they encounter unconditional love.

In addition to summer camp, Amazing Grace offers monthly programs when children and families get together. This provides ongoing communication with one another throughout the year and a chance to build community and lasting and supportive friendships. The Outreach Committee has been supporting Amazing Grace since its inception. Last spring we voted to sponsor one of their monthly gatherings, an outing and barbecue on October 3. We decided to have the children make dog biscuits and then have Companion Dogs come to the campus where the kids could feed the dogs and play with them.

The Social Justice Committee was eager to help, and they signed up to bring needed items for the barbecue. Together, our committees had a wide-spread selection of food.

Baking the dog biscuits turned out to be an excellent bonding activity for the children. Patrick came in to greet and meet the children in the kitchen and was able to see them enjoying themselves. Some biscuits were put aside for the following day for “The Blessing of the Animals.”

Wayne made the Parish Hall look very festive as he put the tent over serving tables that we decorated with pumpkins and colorful fall decorations. Stephanie Gooley, the Amazing Grace Director, commented on how nice everything looked. The round tables were arranged around the serving tables. Matthew supervised in the kitchen. Our very special thanks to Wayne and Matthew, our sextons, who were so helpful in helping to make this day a special one for the kids and visitors.

We had outdoor games set up in the courtyard after the dogs left. Our chefs were hard at work at the grill taking orders. Thankfully, the entire day was a success and even Mother Nature cooperated, and the sun replaced the rain that had been previously forecasted. It takes a village for such a successful endeavor. I would like to thank everyone who brought food and drinks, but I would especially like to thank all those who came for the afternoon and set up the food tables and stayed to help clean up: Brooke Eaton-Skea, Carol Richardson, Jeanne De Cervens, Mal Bornemeier, and Cindy Benson. Also, we had two outstanding chefs--Phil Suraci and Bill Heuss.

With deepest thanks for a joy-filled day had by all,

Social Justice Team

The Social Justice Team donated 200 reusable grocery bags for use by the clients of Lower Cape Outreach Council food pantry. Pictured are two shoppers using the new red bags.

A group of 5 parishioners is teaching ESL classes at the Brazilian Resource Center in South Yarmouth this fall. Cindy Benson, Jeanne de Cervens, Pia McKenzie, Joan Riley and Susan Warner are volunteering their time and energy weekly to teach English to members of the Brazilian community. We are very grateful to them for stepping up and taking on this important commitment.

“Witness Wednesday’s” has begun! The Plymouth League of Women voters and ENJJOY (Episcopal Network for Justice and Joy) are partnering to bear witness at the Plymouth Correctional Facility in support of due process for our immigrant neighbors. CHS will be joining this "stand out" the second Wednesday of the month. Susan Warner participated in this peaceful protest in October.

Buildings and Grounds

CAUTION: Beginning on November 9, the sidewalks in front of GWAG and the quad area between the reception room and sacristy doors over to the parish hall will be removed, and new sidewalks installed that week. 

Please park in the main parking lot and enter the church through the north entrance.

Entry to the admin building will only be through the door by Debbi's office. Please observe all yellow tape and cones directing you away from the construction. This project is being completed as a safety issue due to the rough pavement. 

Any questions, please contact Brian or Ann.

Cape & Islands Deanery News

The Rev. Dean Dan Bernier's term as Dean has come to an end, as of the Convention in November. Bishop Julia Whitworth will announce the appointment of the new Dean at the Convention.

The meeting of the Assembly on September 24 was in person at St. David's in South Yarmouth, and also on Zoom. Sue Sasso, Brenda Ridgeway, Celia Calhoun, Rev. Nancy Hagner, and Rev. Patrick Ward were all in attendance.

The Dean welcomed The Rev. Rita Powell as Rector of St. Andrew’s in Edgartown, and The Rev. Sue Lederhouse as Bridge Priest in Harwichport. He also discussed the 10.5% increase in 2027 insurance costs for church employees--which will affect us all.

The meeting voted to accept changes to our Deanery By-laws, mainly to reduce the Quorum required for votes at meetings.

There were two presentations:

• The Celebration of Great Swamp Massacre Day on October 11, and its connection to the contemplative walking program based from here at Holy Spirit in June 2025.
• Grandmothers Against Gun Violence and their firm stance against the upcoming Ballot Question #9.

The Diocesan Convention will be held on Saturday, November 14, at Trinity Church, Copley Square, in Boston.



Sunday Book Discussion Group

The Book Discussion Group has reconvened after a summer break. We will continue our discussion of Sara Miles's Take This Bread in the Fireplace Room after the 10 am service. When there is a forum following the service, we will meet after that if there is time and interest.

"This [is a] tightly crafted, joyful memoir of coming to believe that God doesn't discriminate and grace is for all...[Miles's] mysticism stands in clear relief to the drone of megachurch jingoism that has so dominated the American cultural landscape in recent years." -  National Catholic Reporter

Everyone is welcome to our table, too. Please join us!

Brooke and Brian Skea

Watch over thy children, O'Lord, as their days increase..

Bless and guide them wherever they may be

keeping them unspotted from the world.

Strengthen them when they stand.

comfort them when discouraged or sorrowful; raise them up if they fall.

And in their hearts, may thy peace, which passes all understanding,

Abide all the days of their lives.
