Launching Large Groups
The Forward in Faith working group is excited to launch a new way to gather for fellowship and worship this summer. Welcome to Nassau Large Groups! All are invited to sign up and participate in this intergenerational, pilot program aimed at organizing safe, distanced, outdoor, in-person fellowship and worship opportunities. Large Groups are welcoming of all ages, and activities will be planned and geared to make sure everyone is included.
Sign-up through Monday, July 27. Participants will be divided into groups of about 25 people. Each group will have a good mix of ages and stages. Once the groups are formed, they will meet a couple of times in August and early September.
Participants must agree to the Gathering Covenant. Click below for details about this new initiative, ways to sign up and the Gathering Covenant.
