MATTAPOISETT – The final day of service for the summer season on Sunday, Sept. 4 at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church has a packed schedule. 

Rev. Jeffrey Paull Cave, retired Diocese of Atlanta, GA., will conduct morning services at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m at St. Philip’s, located at 34 Water St. next to the Mattapoisett Town Beach.

The 1928 Book of Common Prayer will be used at both services.

At 4:00 p.m., Rev. Cave and the Rev. Benjamin Straley, rector at St. Stephen’s in Providence, RI will lead the congregation in the popular, old-fashioned Hymn Sing which resumes after a two-year hiatus.

Rev. Cave will provide historic background on many of the hymns and Rev. Straley will accompany on the church organ.

Prior to becoming a clergyman, Rev. Straley was the organist and choirmaster at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC.

Requests for hymns to be played are welcome.

A reception will follow in the side yard with refreshments. All are welcome to the morning services and the Hymn Sing.
