"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...].

Prayer Shawl Ministry
The Prayer Shawl Ministry group meets the fourth Tuesday of each month from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM.  Knitters and crocheters are needed! Our prayer shawl ministry is a blessing to our church. The gift of a prayer shawl is always very much appreciated. Right now, our supply is extremely low. If you have any questions or want to request a prayer shawl, please contact Sue St. Hilaire or Dot Bass.
Spirituality Group
The spirituality group continues to meet on the third Wednesday of every month at 7:00 PM. This is a special time of quiet and sharing. We will explore some spiritual practices to deepen our experience of God in our daily lives. The group will use the small group experience series, Companions in Christ: The Way of Grace. If you would like to be a part of this gathering, please contact Rev. Pat.

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.
