"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...].

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.
