Worship With Us
Our Worship Service
All are welcome! We invite you to join us for worship on Sunday mornings at 10 am (we worship at the Southampton Congregational Church during the month of July), because the best way to experience a community of faith is “in-person”. Our worship service is both recorded and amplified; we are a handicap-accessible church and we provide both nursery care for infants and toddlers and seasonal church school for children. Our choir leads us with spiritually uplifting anthems and hymns sung from both traditional and contemporary sources. Services include prayer and praise, hymns, songs, and choir offerings, scripture reading and sermon-time, as well as time to share our joys and concerns with the gathered body of Christ. You will hear inspired, thoughtful, “real” sermons from our dynamic minister, Please join Rev. Sherry Tucker, and a multi-generational congregation in after-worship fellowship. Communion is offered the first Sunday of each month – alternately by Intinction (coming forward to the table to receive) and through a more traditional mode of Deacon Servers. Lay leadership is welcomed and encouraged. Visitors are too!
We ask you to call the office at 413 527 4790 for the most updated COVID regulations, should they involve Sunday worship and childcare.
We also hold several special services throughout the liturgical year, which are unique and spiritually fulfilling.

This list highlights some of the many opportunities we have to learn the story of Jesus Christ and move more deeply into our faith.
