Hammo Family 2014
 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.
