GOVERNANCE
HOW WE MOVE FORWARD TOGETHERWE ARE CONGREGATIONAL.
Historically, we are big “C” Congregational, that is, part of the Congregational Church. That denomination merged into the United Church of Christ in 1957. Since our founding we’ve been little “c” congregational which means that our congregation makes its own decisions regarding its leadership, finances, and direction.
When new members join, they become stake holders and co-owners of our assets, physical, financial, and spiritual. And as such, we ask them to take seriously the work of building community and caring for one another.
How we make decisions
Each year, a Board is elected to handle the day-to-day decision making of the congregation. Financial decisions over $5,000 as well as major staffing changes (hiring or dismissing a pastor) are made by the congregation. There are standing congregational meetings twice a year, one in January to approve a budget for the year and one in June to elect a new Board and review the last programatic year while looking toward the programatic year ahead. Other congregational meetings are called as needed.
Board meetings are open to all members (unless dealing with HR situations) and are usually held on the third Monday of the month at 7pm. You can meet our current board here.

the legacy of the springtime festival lingers
Danielson has long had a festival in the spring welcoming the warmer months of the year after the frozen, long winter nights that have kept us inside. The Daffodil Bazaar, Vendor Fair & Carb Carnival featuring the Springtime Classic 5k carries on that tradition.
What's the same
Two events of previous SpringFest weekends will continue this year. All events open at 8am. The Springtime Classic 5k kicks off registration at 8am, with the run starting at 8:30am. Additionally, the doors of the church will swing open at 8am with have tons of vendors and crafters kicking off the Vendor Fair.
What's Newer
The Daffodil Bazaar returns for it's second blooming year! Westfield has long been known for its Winter Wonderland Bazaar & Craft Fair--a tradition more than 85 years in the making. This year, we're introducing our Carb Carnival--a springtime version featuring their famed bakery room, great raffles, and tons of fun for kiddos along with a tasty luncheon offering from 11a-1p.

All events start at Davis Park in Danielson beside Westfield Church, 210 Main St, Killingly. In the event of inclement weather, the vendor fair will move indoors at the church.
