Family Life Weekend at Aldersgate Camp & Retreat Center

Family Life Weekend at Aldersgate Camp & Retreat Center Come join us at Aldersgate Camp & Retreat Center eaxh year in July. We are located at 7955 Brantingham Road in the Town of Greig, NY. www.aldersgateny.org

Families of any shape or size … young or old … grandparents with grandkids ... and singles, too! … are invited to come away for a time of spiritual renewal and relaxation in the Adirondacks. The weekend begins late Friday afternoon with an evening buffet supper, and concludes after a Sunday midday dinner with a closing prayer circle. Opportunities for swimming, boating, singing, archery, softball,

and volleyball complement the times of teaching, allowing for enjoyable times of fellowship. Saturday morning Chapel in the Pines, Sunday Family Worship, devotions around the campfire, and special family communion provide encouragement and opportunities for faith growth and development. Teaching times during the weekend are provided by age group (children through adults), with a nursery provided for the wee ones.

It's hard to believe that only a week ago we were together at Aldersgate Camp and Retreat Center!

A 2025 follow up:
Greetings FLW campers,

The apostle Paul opened many of his letters with this salutation "Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." I Corinthians 1:3

Thank you each for being a member of the FLW family and the greater Aldersgate community. I pray we are able to apply the principles Scott shared with us and the 3 Strategies: Listen first (ask questions, don't pass judgement), Prioritize the heart (seek relationship more than victory) and Honor the mind (know your facts). See Romans 12:17-21

One of our campers is missing his softball glove; it's quite new (but might have mud in the pocket), possibly Wilson brand. Could you please check the glove(s) you brought home to see if you have it? If you find it, please let me know.

Saturday morning Marianne concluded Chapel in the Pines by leading the group in singing the Prayer of St. Francis, may this be our prayer as we go about our daily lives.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." II Corinthians 13:14
