Acton Congregational Church

The Senior High Youth Fellowship (SHYF) is hosting a chili cook-off to raise money for their mission trip to West Virginia in April. Come to Hartman Hall to learn more about the type of work we do there, and come to try some amazing chili! The attendance fee is $5 per person, $15 for families of 4 or more. If you wish to vote for the best chili, it’s $1 per  voting ticket, $5 for 6, $10 for 12. Donations are always welcome.

On June 19 at 2:00 pm, the Acton Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission invites you to our commemoration of Juneteenth. We begin at the Acton Congregational Church with author Ray Anthony Shephard, who will present a history of Juneteenth and its relevance to other fights for freedom, followed by several musical selections. Around 3:00 pm, we will walk to the Acton Women’s Club where local tour guide Amy Cole will share Acton’s history about Emancipation and local abolitionists. We end with a presentation on how horse culture ties into the histories of Black freedom.
