Welcome home, and come on in!
There’s so much going on.
Our church family shares a long and
storied history, yet we continue to grow and serve our
spiritual needs while deepening our relationships with each
other and the community.
Here you will find the quiet serenity of
a thoughtful sermon, the laughter of children, the boisterous
fellowship of friends, the spirituality of music. Here you may worship God, sharing a common heritage yet
finding wisdom in the differing viewpoints of others. If you’re serious about a spiritual journey, you’ll
find good company here.
We are many things to many people, but we
all come together in our search for meaning and in our caring
outreach to the wider world.
Please, join us this Sunday and make
yourself at home. So
much is waiting for you. At
275 years and counting, there are still many great hours for
all of us to experience. Together.

Darien
Antiques Show Preview Party and Auction - March
5th: How can you help?
This is becoming the
social event of the season here in Darien. A memorable
evening, with live music, great food and wine, plus a chance
to preview antique treasures before the weekend crowds. The
proceeds will support operations at A Better Chance - Darien,
and other local non-profits, plus improve facilities at our
own FCC Nursery School. Did you know that a significant
portion of the money we raise comes from our exciting Preview
Party auction? Tracey Berry and Ellen Kirby are heading
up the auction team, and welcome several terrific volunteers
from the Nursery School: Shelby Smith, Tere Stevens, Jessica
Brown and Claire Rosztoczy. Essentially their mission is to
turn 'things' into dollars and they need your help to make the
magic happen.
You
can transform heirloom jewels into tax deductions, unused time
in vacation homes into $$$$ for Outreach. A dusty vintage in
your wine cellar can become delicious treat for the Party. Be
creative! Can you host a dinner in your home? Cook
a brunch? Contribute tickets to an arts or sporting event?
Please contact Tracey or
Ellen to
brainstorm ways in which you can participate in this
once-a-year fundraising tradition.
