Congregational Church Stays Connected
During the suspension of in-person activities in light of the Covid-19 situation, the Congregational Church of Amherst, UCC has a variety of ways for members and others to connect with church programs. This is especially important during April as Holy Week and Easter are on the horizon.
The most up-to-date information about church activities can be found on the church’s website (ccamherst.org) or by calling the church office at 673-3231. Sunday services are broadcast on FacebookLive and recorded for later on-line viewing. Services are followed by a Virtual Fellowship Hour. Links for these and other events can be found on the website.
The church’s Facebook page is another source of information, including updates and video messages from the pastors. Pastors Maureen Frescott and Kate Kennedy are available to provide pastoral care during this time, and the church welcomes community members to connect with this loving, serving, open and affirming community of faith.

The Amherst Lions Club is having an online Silent Auction and Scratch Ticket Raffle this year instead of our Craft Fair that is normally held the 1st Saturday in December at the Amherst Middle School. This is due to the Covid19 pandemic. We and the crafters are sad not to see you in person. The Silent Auction and Raffle will replace some of the funds we would normally get from the Craft Fair. Many local merchants and some of our crafters who normally participate are going to have items in the auction. Bidding will start on Friday, 12/4 at 1PM and end on Sunday 12/13 at 2PM. Your holiday gift shopping could not be easier. The raffle will be online as well. We will sell tickets 10 for $10 for a chance to win $200 worth of scratch tickets! Please support us and enjoy the auction. All proceeds go to our local charities who need it now more than ever. Stay tuned, more details and sneak peeks coming soon.
