The Federated Church’s weather vane, a favorite perch of Edgartown birds and a shining beacon to sailors, was returned to the steeple on Thursday.

The Federated Church of Edgartown has been honored with a special resolution passed by the state legislature.

A tale that reaches from settlement to commerce, from orthodoxy to schism, from one church to many, from faith to tourism, from industry to resorthood.

In honor of the 375th anniversary of the Edgartown Federated Church, there will be a special presentation of historical pageant For All the Saints.

On Sunday, the Edgartown Federated Church called David Berube as their new minister. Many know him as an Oak Bluffs police officer, familiar in his black and white patrol cruiser. He started in the department as the chaplain.
