Holy Week at First Church Amherst

During Holy Week, all the hopes and prayers of Lent are fulfilled–even as Jesus is sentenced to death on a cross. We have several special services to help open our hearts to the sacredness of the journey and the fullness of and hope of new life. We would love to see you at one or all of them.

Our building is fully accessible–from the parking lot behind the building, via a ramp and a lift to the main floor, and through the front door of the building on Main Street. As always, no matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, we affirm you for all you are, and you are welcome to all aspects of church life.

Here’s our Holy Week schedule:
