        History

        Avon-Putnam Pastoral Charge was formed ca. 1968 with the merger of Avon and Putnam Pastoral Charges. It originally included Avon, Banner, Crampton, Harrietsfield (only for 1968), and Mossley (later named Putnam). In 1994, with the merger of Avon and Crampton congregations, it became a three-point charge with Banner, Avon-Crampton, and Putnam.
