Baseball Sunday Celebrated at Waquoit Church
Batter up…in church? You bet! It’s Baseball Sunday at the Waquoit Congregational Church on Sunday, June 14, 10 a.m. And everyone’s invited to join this fun, family-oriented service.
Now in its third year, Baseball Sunday at the Waquoit Church celebrates all things baseball during worship. In keeping with the theme, the service is divided into nine innings, including a seventh-inning stretch, and there is even a place where attendees do the “wave.” The sermon is entitled “The Sermon on the Mound.”
Every year, Baseball Sunday pays special tribute to the home team, the Falmouth Commodores. Several Commodore players will be in attendance as “guests of honor” and available for autographs and pictures after service. This year the Waquoit Church will honor Al Irish, who celebrates his 20th year as a Falmouth Commodore Board member. Irish will throw out the first pitch.
“Many theologians have drawn the comparison between God and baseball…faith and baseball. Some people believe that baseball is even a way to God,” said Rev. Nell Fields, pastor of the Waquoit church. “Baseball Sunday is just another way we worship together. It also allows us to celebrate our home team, the Falmouth Commodores. That organization does so much for our town. The players, the coaches, the volunteers – all are wonderful people.”
Baseball Sunday has picked up its first expansion service this year. The Federated Church of Hyannis will hold a baseball-theme service the same day. Their special guests will be the Harbor Sea Hawks. “We hope to expand the service throughout the Cape,” said Fields.
The public is invited to the Waquoit service that starts at 10 a.m. Waquoit Congregational Church is located at 15 Parsons Lane, Waquoit, MA 02536. For more information: 508-548-5269.
