A dozen Connecticut churches inside and out

We saw so many churches on weekdays while we were in Connecticut. We even got to see the inside of a few. Here are six we noticed from the road:

Rowayton United Methodist Church

United Church, Rowayton (exterior)

United Church, Rowayton (interior)

First Baptist Church of Fairfield (exterior)

First Baptist Church of Fairfield (interior)

Union Baptist Church, Mystic

Our Lady of Lourdes, Gales Ferry

Trinity Episcopal Church, Wethersfield

This church was mentioned on a promotional video about Connecticut. There seem to be three churches that meet on the property, and it's got a great view of downtown Hartford. The church and parish house (behind the sign on the right) were built by Elizabeth Jarvis Colt in memory of her husband (Samuel Colt, founder of Colt's Patent Firearms).

And here are four churches that amused us for one reason or another.

St Mark's Episcopal Church, Mystic

And finally, a church Mindy's dad told her to visit. It's called Fish Church (also Holy Mackerel).
