Advent Candle Lighting

Sunday, December 6th was a very special day for Norfield Congregational Church as families joined in the lighting of Advent Candles.

lighting advent candles
The Meaning of the Advent Wreath

Each of the Advent Candles (three are purple and one is pink) represents one week during the season of Advent. A white candle is placed in the center of the wreath. The lighting of candles, spanning the season, acknowledges the deepening of our preparation and the increasing light that bursts forth at Christmas. The purple candles note the season's expectations of royalty, liberation, redemption, and hope.

On the Third Sunday of Advent, a pink candle is lit as a day of joy and rejoicing. Finally, on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, the center white candle is lit: the wait is over. The light of Christ is fully present. Jesus is born!

A Special Message to our Community

Dear Norfielders:

In recent months, we thought that the Coronavirus was putting us all through some of the most tough and testing times of our lives. We were wrong. Events that followed in Minnesota and elsewhere across our nation have been horrifying, infuriating and deeply saddening. Black communities are hurting. African Americans in our community, including members of our own church, know that living life normally, like jogging, shopping or driving in a different neighborhood, can put them in harm’s way.

We Norfielders must acknowledge that this fear is real, and we must do all we can to aid, support and protect our sisters and brothers. Jesus commands us, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Norfield has a long and proud history of standing tall as the "Church on the Hill," the beacon of faith, hope, love and inclusion here in Weston. Now, we need to stand tall and together in the fight against systemic racism and injustice.  We will not be silent.

Please watch for upcoming communications from Norfield’s Board of Outreach and Social Action.  We are developing a plan of reflection, dialogue, education and action, and we welcome your ideas and thoughts.  Please email: outreachgroup@norfield.org. Thank you.

Blessings,  All of us from the Board of Outreach and Social Action

Sunday Services going online

During the height of the pandemic, following guidance from the United Church of Christ, Norfield Congregational Church's Sunday Worship Services were not open to public gatherings. Congregants have been able to view our Sunday morning worship services each Sunday at 10 am on the Norfield website or on Norfield's YouTube channel.

As Connecticut gradually reopens, the church will be trying out limited attendance outdoor Sunday services and other special events. Watch for emails about these events and check back on this website.

Help is available

The medical crisis that has spanned the earth affects all of us locally. Congregants who are elderly or have medical conditions may need special additional help. If you're in need of help with groceries, pharmacy items or other essentials, please contact us at the church office. Call 203-227-7886 or email tgaberman@norfield.org and we will connect you with church members who are eager to help!

Keep the Faith

Thank you all for your patience and kind understanding as we navigate through these challenging times. We will continue to keep you updated on additional information concerning the coronavirus and its impact on our church family. Continue to keep the faith, and as the Psalmist (121:1) tells us:

"My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."

With Peace and Blessings,

Rev. Dr. Bernard R. Wilson, Senior Minister
Pastor Thomas C. Burke, Jr., Associate Minister for Children, Youth and Families
