Our Statement of Welcome
God created all things and called them good. Acknowledging the brokenness of the world and the ways the Church has condoned that brokenness through its own silence, we trust in God’s abiding love and extravagant welcome. At Westfield, we welcome everyone as full participants in the life and sacraments of Christ’s church. Everyone includes people of any age, economic status, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, race, sexual orientation, faith background, life experience, or physical, emotional, and mental capability. Simply put: everyone, everyone, everyone is welcome. No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
The God’s Doors Project launched nationally from Westfield Church in 2017 after spreading to churches across the nation who were inspired by our original set featured in a number of publications since 2013. The doors carry a simple message: “God’s Doors Are Open to All.”
What is Open and Affirming (ONA)?
Open and Affirming (ONA) is an official designation with the United Church of Christ (UCC) that signals a fundamental commitment to welcoming members of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community into full participation of the life and ministry of the local church.
Why did Westfield become ONA?
Westfield has long been welcoming to the LGBTQ community. Over time, we realized that we knew who we were, but that we didn’t have a public way of sharing that with our community. Becoming Open and Affirming is a way to formalize what we have long known to be true: Everyone, everyone, everyone is welcome 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.
