Attention, Wilton residents! Get ready for an exciting Septemberfest, the celebration at the annual Fall Kick-off Cookout, hosted by the Wilton Episcopal Presbyterian Corporation (WEPCO), a collaborative partnership between St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church and Wilton Presbyterian Church! This joyful event on Sunday, Sept. 14, celebrates our faith communities, fellowship and the spirit of the season, marking a transition from summer, reconnecting and embracing new beginnings.

In a unique ecumenical arrangement dating back to the early 1960s, these two churches share their land, building space and church school, but worship separately in two sanctuaries located across the courtyard from one another. You are welcome to join either Wilton Presbyterian Church or St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church for worship.

After worship, we invite you to join your neighbors and friends for our Septemberfest celebration for an afternoon of fun, excitement and delicious food, as we kick off fall in style. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to connect, create lasting memories and celebrate the warmth of our communities. Let’s make this an unforgettable start to the fall season!
