New Ground Embodies Peace, Love and 'Namaste'

Camp New Ground has been pulling together children of all faiths. Here is one example from Pr. Peggy Wuertele from Redeemer, Queens Village. "One of my favorite stories happened last Thursday, when we were studying how the Holy Spirit gathers us. We were making a 'welcome' banner in the afternoon with the word for welcome written in many languages, along with symbols that the kids added, such as crosses, fish, flowers, butterflies, etc. Cindy is a 10-year-old girl from a Hindu family. She asked if she could add something from her religion. Our banner now includes 'namaste' a respectful greeting in the Hindi language.  That's how the Holy Spirit gathers us into one family." For more photos, click here .
