Throughout the season of Lent, we invite you to reflect with us on the theme of Discovery. Daily meditations, written by members of our clergy, staff and lay leadership, have been compiled into a booklet for use as a guide throughout the forty days of Lent. Copies are available in the Chapel Foyer and Lower Hallway.
Meditations are also shared electronically. To receive daily meditations via email, visit christchurchgreenwich.org to join the mailing list.
Lenten Nourishment for the Journey
This Lent, give yourself a spiritual midweek refreshment at our Tuesday 10:00 am Eucharist in the Chapel. The theme for this Lent at the Tuesday communion: The Discovery of the Saints.

Spotlight on Outreach: Neighbor to Neighbor
Well known and highly regarded by the Christ Church Greenwich community and throughout the town, the nonprofit Neighbor to Neighbor organization provides nutritious food to over one thousand Greenwich area residents along with seasonally appropriate clothing. Established in 1975, in the basement of the Christ Church Greenwich’s Annex building, to distribute gently used clothing, in the 1980s Neighbor to Neighbor was asked by the Greenwich Department of Social Services to begin a food distribution program. In 2005 Christ Church Greenwich provided an additional space in the Parish House basement, which became the area’s first “client choice” food pantry. Read more >
