Marconi Beach at Wellfleet   Water of Death & Life - Dying of Fear, Raised in Faith- 08.23.26. Wellfleet UMC < The Beach in Wellfleet > Dear beloved sisters and brothers in Christ, ㅁ fter last week’s sermon, some of our children tried to find bananas in our stained glass windows! Did any of you manage to find one? It is wonderful to remember Lorenzo Dow Baker, who helped save our town through the banana trade and built this beautiful church. I recently learned that his daughter donated our grand piano, which was restored 15 years ago. Through it, we remain connected to the faithful Methodists who came before us. With Joan at her art gallery                 Newcomb Hollow Beach at Wellfleet This past week, Joan shared stories of her childhood in Jamaica and reflected on her journey through her artwork.

(Genesis 45:1-15, Romans 11:1-2, 29-32) 8/16/26 Wellfleet UMC  Joyce Kang       Lorenzo Dow Baker ( March 15, 1840 – June 21, 1908) <Lorenzo Dow Baker’s Calling> Dearly beloved sisters and brothers in Christ, every week I learn something new about Wellfleet, and I find myself falling in love with our town more and more. This week, Hannah and I visited the Wellfleet Historical Society & Museum. Thankfully, David Wright—our church pianist and the museum's curator—guided us through the historical exhibits. He explained the stories behind the old photographs, let Hannah handle an authentic cannonball, and allowed her to ring the ship bells not just once, but over and over again! She even had a wonderful time playing with real pirate treasure artifacts.      In Memory of Lorenzo Dow Baker Most of all, I learned about a remarkable man who deeply impacted Wellfleet and, ultimately, the entire world: Captain Lorenzo Dow Baker .

How can I keep it inside? (Genesis  37:1-4, 12-38, Romans 10:5-15) 8.9.26. Wellfleet UMC Joyce Kang < Deep and Wide > Dearly beloved sisters and brothers at Wellfleet UMC, what a joy it is to be with you today in our beautiful home of Wellfleet! Last Thursday, Charlie and Norma were kind enough to guide my children and me around town. I fell in love with Wellfleet’s charm—the beaches, local shops, cozy houses, and even our police station, fire department, and elementary school. I also learned that while people in Maine are "Mainers" and those on Cape Cod are "Cape Codders," those born and raised here in Wellfleet are called "Fleetiens"! Please keep teaching me about our community. After my first sermon last Sunday, someone encouragingly told me, "Pastor Joyce, because you speak a little slowly, it actually helps us understand every word much better!" Praise the Lord! I was speaking slowly because I was nervous, but God turned...
