Veteran broker John Frey has been recognized as a top unit and volume producer for the fourth month this year across the Coldwell Banker Ridgefield and Redding offices, continuing a record of success in the local real estate market. A licensed broker since 1987, Frey is ranked among the top 1.5% of real estate agents nationwide according to RealTrends 2026. He previously served as Chairman of the Connecticut Real Estate Commission and has been honored as Ridgefield Realtor of the Year and Ridgefield Citizen of the Year. Throughout his career, he has built a reputation for market expertise, professionalism, and a client-first approach, helping generations of families navigate important real estate decisions. “John’s performance continues to reflect an exceptional level of professionalism, market expertise, and client dedication,” said Joseph Porricelli, Managing Broker for Coldwell Banker Realty Ridgefield-Redding, Newtown, and Southbury. “His consistent results and long-standing reputation in the community set a standard for excellence across our offices.” Frey’s commitment to personalized service continues to earn strong client loyalty and referrals throughout the region. Much of his business comes from repeat clients and personal recommendations, reflecting the trust he has built over nearly four decades in the industry. “Working with John to sell my parents’ home was such a blessing,” said Andrea Donigian. “He made the entire process far less stressful than I ever imagined and provided valuable guidance every step of the way.

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Westport

Please join the Rev. Terri Dennehy and our UU&nbsp;Westport community as we formally kick-off our congregational year. All are always welcome. This Sunday&nbsp;will be a multi-generational service, so children are invited to stay in the sanctuary with their parents or caregivers. Adult-supervised nursery care (0-preK) is available.&nbsp; As Rev Terri shares:&nbsp;"We begin our congregational year with rituals of heritage and belonging, while also looking with hope to the year ahead. Let us gather once more in community to honor our past and envision our shared future." +++ All are always welcome to our Unitarian Universalist services at UU Westport, offered each Sunday at 10 AM, both in person and&nbsp;<a href="https://uuwestport.org/livestream/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">live-streamed online</a>. Services usually include a time of reflection/prayer/meditation; wonderful music; readings; and a homily or sermon to lend insight into our world and how we interact with it and with each other. 
The <a href="https://uuwestport.org/mission-statement/about-our-ministers-2/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Rev. Terri Dennehy</a> presides over our time together that includes participation from multiple congregants, guests, and friends. Music Director&nbsp;<a href="https://uuwestport.org/music-program/our-minister-of-music/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Micah Krajca</a>&nbsp;leads our choirs. Separate children's programming and nursery care is usually available during the service, 10-11:15AM, although this Sunday (9/13) the children are invited to stay in the sanctuary with their parents for this special multi-generational service. Nursery care (ages 0- preK) is always available. Dress code is as you feel comfortable. 
As always, our e-newsletter&nbsp;<a href="https://uuwestport.org/mission-statement/soundings-2/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">SOUNDINGS</a>&nbsp;has all the information one needs to find out what's going on in our congregation. Contact the office at 203.227.7205 x 10 if you have specific questions.
<a href="https://uuwestport.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">UU Westport</a>&nbsp;is a diverse and welcoming religious community, free of creed and dogma, and open to people of all backgrounds and beliefs. We welcome all who are in search of a non-judgmental, loving, safe community to come together to explore what it means to be human and alive in today's world, and how we can best serve one another and those around us, near and far.
Our services take place in UU Westport's iconic sanctuary building, a glorious architectural masterpiece of mid-century modernist <a href="https://www.world-architects.com/en/architecture-news/headlines/victor-lundy-turns-100" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Victor Lundy</a> (1923-2024).
