Hammo Family 2014
               
Hammo for Families                
Hammonasset Family celebrates it's second year after a fantastic start in 2013.  

 

This year we return to  the same section of the campsite as we did last year.  We heard feedback from the group that this worked well.

 

We also want to provide more opportunities for people to connect with God and one another.  We will start the weekend with a meet and greet and a campfire with devotions on Friday night.  Saturday morning will be activities for the families. In the afternoon families can participate in the Climbing Wall.  After the Saturday afternoon freetime (or naptime) we plan to have a game time for the kids around 4:00 while some of the adults set up a Family Hammo Potluck  for 5:00, wrapping up that night with a "good bye" campfire after the concert. In addition we will be joining regular Hammo for Worship and the featured speakers, Bishop Hazelwood and  two of our Synod mission developers around the theme HELD.

Youth Ministry Table at the 
2014 New England Synod Assembly

There will be a table at the Synod Assembly that will be available for people 

to learn more about how we can work together as a Synod to expand and grow our youth ministry presence.  There are lots of energy and ideas as to how we 

can work together to lift up the youth of our synod.  Stop by the table to learn more.  If you have things that you would like to share for youth ministry at your church or in your conference please stop by the table and let us know.  If you 

have any questions about this please contact Pastor Joe McGarry pastor@faithgardner.org
