April 17 Maundy Thursday: 7:00 p.m. A prayerful reflective service with Communion and Tenebrae – a commemoration of Jesus’ last night with his disciples, symbolizing the fading loyalty of the disciples as they betray him, deny him, then flee for their own lives.
April 19 Holy Saturday – Palms and Peeps : 5:00 p.m. Moving from darkness to light – from inside to outside – celebrate the resurrection to come with a burning of palms and peeps!
April 20 Easter Sunday Sunrise Service: 7:00 a.m. This special annual Easter service takes place on the Amherst village green. Celebrate the Resurrection at daybreak followed by coffee and donuts on the green.
April 20 Easter Sunday Traditional Service: 10:00 a.m. Easter celebration service in our sanctuary with our Chancel and Bell Choirs. Join us as we praise God with a joyful noise!
All services will be in-person and available to watch online except for the Easter Sunrise Service.
Church Closing due to bad weather
It's rare, but it happens. In case of bad weather and the need to cancel a worship service, we will do our best to get the word out. Tune in to WMUR Channel 9 television, WZID 95.7 FM radio, WMLL 96.5 FM radio, or WFEA 1370 AM radio to check for a cancellation notice. We will also leave a recorded message on the church answering system (603-673-3231), and will post a notice on our website and our Facebook page.
Child Care
There is an adult and a teen assistant in the nursery beginning at 9:45 AM for any parents that want to drop off a child before the worship service. Babies and young children are always welcome in the worship service, but parents may choose to bring them to the nursery for part or all of the service. In addition to being a place to drop-off a small child, the nursery is a place where parents can stop in to change a diaper, nurse a baby, or just let a toddler get some wiggles out - it is fine to come and go between the nursery and sanctuary as needed. The worship service is streamed on a monitor in the nursery each week.
An Altar in the World
On the third Sunday of every month, our 10:00 a.m. worship celebrates our church-wide theme - AN ALTAR IN THE WORLD. Each month we’ll focus on a different practice to inspire us to live our faith in the world and in our everyday lives. All ages welcome! This service steps outside our traditional order of worship with special music and interactive liturgies and activities. On these Sundays, our children will participate in the beginning of the service before heading off to Church School to engage the theme in their class time.
