Today was a truly unforgettable morning for our congregation! 🌱✨

After 3 long years of fundraising, planning, and navigating approval processes, we gathered at 400-404 Louden Road to break ground on our new meetinghouse—dedicating this sacred ground to the enduring principles of love, reason, and community.

A highlight of the morning was Rev ViolaAbbitt leading us in a beautiful collective blessing, grounding us in shared vision, gratitude, and purpose as we take this monumental step toward our new spiritual home.

Thank you to everyone—members, friends, leaders, and community members—who joined us and made today so special. Special thanks to the representatives of Bast Hatfield Construction, LLC , SD Atelier Architecture L.L.C. and the Town of Wilton. The journey is officially underway!
