SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

Words of Welcome
Pastor Eric FjeldalOn behalf of the New Canaan UMC community I welcome you to our website.

We are a growing community of faith who are constantly seeking new ways to express our faith in God and Christ as we live in our various communities and the larger world. We invite you to join us in this journey.

I also invite you to join us for worship on Sundays. We have a small informal 30 minute service at 8 a.m. Our 10 a.m. service is a more formal service with congregational singing, corporate prayer, special music by one of our choirs, a children’s message and sermon. Sunday school for children age 3 through high school and child care are offered during the 10 o’clock hour.

Missed a Service?
We know joining us for every Sunday service is not always possible. Visit Eric's Sunday Sermon archives which are organized by date. Read Eric's monthly column.
