CARRABASSETT VALLEY – High on Sugarloaf Mountain, a new outdoor amphitheater nicknamed The AMP, will be the site of a Labor Day Weekend Worship service conducted by Sugarloaf Christian Ministry.
The AMP is located just West of the top of the SuperQuad chair lift and has stunning views, benches for participants, a platform for the officiants and a permanent sound system. The interdenominational service will utilize the outdoors, be informal and kid friendly.
Rev. Earle Morse said: “The popularity of the Ministry’s Easter Sunrise Service prompted us to create a summer venue for services and weddings. Sugarloaf and the Ministry have partnered to bring this community resource to life. Life looks a little different when viewing it from The AMP.”
The Labor Day weekend service will be held Sept. 4 at 11 a.m. Attenders should load the SuperQuad lift around 10:30 a.m. for the 15 minute ride up to the AMP. The trail from the top of the lift to the AMP is easily navigable and is a 1 minute walk. Tickets for the lift ride are obtained from the Outpost Adventure Center on Maine Street of the Sugarloaf base area. Ask for the “Worship Ticket” and receive a discounted $7 ticket. Sunscreen and a warm jacket are recommended. Bring your lunch it you want to join others in an on-Mtn Picnic following the service.
If weather inhibits the on-Mountain service, a service will be held at 11 a.m. in the Richard Bell Chapel located in the base area of Sugarloaf. In addition to the Labor Day Service, a Grand Opening Dedication Service will be held Sunday of Sugarloaf’s Homecoming Weekend, Oct. 9 at The AMP at 11 a.m.
