Service sunday

At Green’s Farms Church, we are committed to being the heart, hands, and feet of Jesus to our neighbors. Each year, church members and friends come together for Service Sunday, a day devoted to giving back and living out our call to serve. On this special day, we set aside our usual routines and mobilize our entire church family to join in meaningful projects across Norwalk, Westport, and Bridgeport.

From preparing meals and organizing supplies to painting, planting, and spending time with those in need, Service Sunday is a chance for all who call GFC their spiritual home - children, youth and adults alike - to take part in service that makes a real difference. We partner hand-in-hand with local mission partners to support the good work already happening in our communities, reminding us all that when we serve together, we reflect Christ’s love in action.

Join FELLOW GFC members EVERY SEPTEMBER for a day of serving our community
and a celebratory BBQ to close out the day!
