SEEKING TO LIVE GOD'S LOVE

Upcoming Events at ACC


March 20, 2024 at 6:30 pm, South Acton Congregational Church - 35 School Street, Acton, MA, 01720
Meeting at the Table: A Lenten Gathering
During this Lenten season, we will join our neighbors, friends and siblings in the faith from South Acton Congregational Church and the United Church of Christ in Boxborough at the table. We will come together to share a meal of love on Wednesday evenings. There will be time for prayer, singing, and meditation on Jesus’ table sharing ministry. In this practice of eating and drinking together that combines food and fellowship, we hope to deepen our connection with each other so the wider community around our churches may know that we are Christians by our love.  Find out more on our blog by clicking HERE.

Sunday School

Sunday School is available most Sundays at 9:30 am from September through June.

Confirmation Program
In the two-year confirmation model we’re using, this year (following our “classroom” year) will be one of discipleship—of getting out in the world to experience service projects and other forms of worship with the goal of asking questions and thinking critically and intentionally about our spiritual life.  We see Confirmation as just the first steps of exploring one’s faith.
