U2charist celebration returns to CCA!
Saturday, May 31, at 5 pm

On Saturday, May 31, the Congregational Church of Amherst, UCC, will host its second U2charist.

This will be a rocking worship service, blending music of the Irish rock band U2 in a lively communion worship service to raise awareness of the UN’s Millennium Development Goals.

The offering will go to support the Global Ministries’ House of Hope program, which educates some of the poorest children in the slums of Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

We can help the children of Port-au-Prince live better lives and let Jesus rock in the process!

Please join us for this very special worship service!

Last year more than 175 people attended our first U2charist--a joyous worship celebration that raised
significant monies for Global Ministries programs.
