"Field of Flags"
The "Field of Flags," which graced the front of the church between August 17, 2008 and September 7, 2008, is a memorial and prayer chain honoring those men and women who have given their lives serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.  There is a flag for each life lost. The memorial began on October 23, 2005 at the Somers, CT Congregational Church with a display of 2,231 flags. It has since traveled to six states and seventeen churches and there are now over 4,700 flags as part of the memorial today. The flags were dedicated on August 17, 2008 at the Congregational Church of New Fairfield with help from the New Fairfield Veteran's Association. They remained until Sunday, September 7, 2008 when there was a brief closing ceremony. [Read more...].

Looking for volunteers
The Hospitality Committee has a new sign-up sheet in Pilgrim Hall  next to the kitchen door looking for volunteers to host Fellowship Hour on Sunday morning. It typically takes three people to host, but it can be done with fewer. The directions explaining what is needed are right under the sign-up sheet. Please sign up!
Electronic giving
Contributions are now easier and you don't even need a computer!  Here's how it works: You authorize a specified amount to be electronically transferred from your checking or savings account to the church account or use a credit card. You specify the frequency of the transfer. It's fast, safe, easy, and secure. To sign up, fill out the Electronic giving form and return it to the church office.
Inclement weather policy
Though we rarely cancel worship services on Sunday, there are a few occasions when storms come on Saturday evening or Sunday morning that make driving treacherous making it prudent to cancel.  Our Inclement Weather Policy calls for the Chairperson of Worship and Ministry along with the Pastor to make a decision by 7:30 AM in order to allow time for choir members, church school teachers, and others to be notified. If there is a question about a cancellation, listen to WLAD or tune into WTNH 8 or WFSB 3.

Welcome to the online home of The Congregational Church of New Fairfield, Connecticut. We have been an active congregation since our church's founding in 1742. Since that time, we have sought to care for each other spiritually and commit ourselves to regular worship and prayer. We seek to grow in the knowledge and love of God by carefully attending to the scripture and by striving to hear and fulfill our mission to love and serve others.
