Worship
Experience God’s love at Wilton Congregational Church.
In Person
9:30 am Sundays
Each Sunday, we gather in our historic sanctuary for worship that engages body, heart, and mind. Musical offerings uplift us. Scripture readings and thought-provoking sermons help us better understand our lives as Christians in a complex world. Prayer, together as a community – for those we love and those we will never know – sustains us.
Communion
Communion is offered the first Sunday of each month. Ours is an open table – all are welcome.
Christmas Eve Worship Service at Wilton Congregational Church
We warmly invite you to celebrate Christmas Eve with us.
This year, we will offer two services:
· 4:00 PM — Family Service
· 6:00 PM — Candlelight Service
Between the services, at 5:00 PM, please join us in the courtyard for Christmas caroling accompanied by a brass quintet—a joyful way to share the spirit of the season together.
Parking Information
Parking may be limited, so we encourage you to allow a little extra time. Parking is available in three church-designated lots:
· Upper church lot, with entrance on Ridgefield Road
· Behind Wilton’s Old Town Hall, across the street from the church, accessible from Belden Hill Road
· Wilton Play Shop, accessible from Lover’s Lane
If these lots are full, additional parking is available at Merwin Meadows and in the center of town, both just a short walk to the church.
Accessibility
If you are dropping off someone with limited mobility, please enter the upper lot on Ridgefield Road, where access to our ramp is available. From there, it is a short and easy walk to the sanctuary.
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the joy, music, and hope of Christmas together.
Parking
We try to keep the two lots right next to the church available for our visitors and those with mobility challenges. Our biggest parking lots are not immediately visible, so this is a particularly good question! The Wilton Playshop Parking Lot is a few yards down Lovers Lane; take the driveway just to the right of the Playshop building, and then walk back up to the church. The Old Town Hall Parking Lot is located just off Belden Hill Road, at 2 Belden Hill Lane. The lot is behind Old Town Hall. Walk down the walkway to the left of Old Town Hall, cross Ridgefield Road (carefully!) and go right into the front doors of the church.
Come visit our services as often as you like
If you’d like more information, you’re always welcome to have a conversation with our Senior Minister, Rev. Caroline Ainsworth Hughes. You can reach Rev. Caroline Ainsworth Hughes at Email or you can call the church office at 203-762-5591.
Online
If you’d rather participate in the worship service online instead of in person, you can join our YouTube livestream on Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. or watch the service later. Either way, find us on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@wiltoncongregationalchurch8911/streams
Music
Sunday mornings are filled with song! Our worship soars with music of all kinds – from traditional hymns to contemporary Christian songs, from the glorious organ to rockin’ guitar riffs. All ages, from kids to seniors, take part in our church music. On any given Sunday, you might hear the mighty organ, you might hear bluegrass violin, you might hear handbells. We hope you’ll join us for the happy sound of making a joyful noise to the Lord.
Kids
Church School
Our church school is a community all its own! Classes introduce our youngest worshippers to the great love God has for them through story, art, games, and play. We provide a nurturing environment where children experience God’s unconditional love while participating in the life of the church. On Sunday mornings, children in grades K-5 have a time to worship alongside their families, and then are invited to head to Church School to continue to learn and grow with age-appropriate classes. Middle school and high school students serve as volunteers in our classrooms or remain in worship for the duration of the service.
We like to register children for Church School or any other children’s/youth programming at Wilton Congregational Church – through registration, we learn about any allergies, how to contact you, and other health/safety information. Click here for the registration form.
