Through A Church Window …

Posted on June 23, 2012 by mvobsession | Comments Off

I took these pictures of the Federated Church in Edgartown in May one evening around 6pm. The light through the windows was at a perfect angle to illuminate the inside of the church with a warm golden glow.

“This 1828 meetinghouse, on the corner of South Summer and Cooke streets, is the oldest church building in its original location still used for worship on the Vineyard and has had few changes made. It features box pews; graceful woodwork; a Hook and Hastings organ, which was installed in 1895 in a case built in 1840 by Ebenezer Goodrich, and restored in 1985; a handsome chandelier which originally burned whale oil; and an 1853 Ingraham clock. The sanctuary, which is acoustically ideal, seats nearly 400 persons within 40 feet of the pulpit. The building is inspirational, a tribute to its designer.”

Vineyard Churches …

Posted on April 6, 2012 by mvobsession | Comments Off

The Vineyard has about 20 houses of worship ranging from Methodist, Baptist, Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, Unitarian, Christian Science, and the MV Hebrew Center to name a few.

The Tabernacle in the Campground (1870) in Oak Bluffs… one of my favorites.

Trinity Methodist (1878) in the Campground

Old Whaling Church – Edgartown (1843)

The Federated Church – Edgartown ((1828)

St Andrew’s Episcopal – Edgartown

Union Chapel – Oak Bluffs (1871)

Our Lady Star of the Sea – Oak Bluffs (1919)

Trinity Episcopal – Oak Bluffs. All houses of worship are beautiful but some have a more perfect setting than others. Trinity Episcopal sits on the edge of Ocean Park in Oak Bluffs… from the altar you can look directly at the ocean… it is breathtaking. As a little girl I would accompany my god-mother and her sister-in-law here on Saturday’s when they’d spruce up the church for Sunday service. My job was to dust the pews. I was told this was a very important job and I took it very seriously. It was boring though so I decided to make it fun by sliding on my stomach across each row. I guess I did a good job as they always rewarded me with a ride on the Flying Horses or an ice cream cone.
