Sub-hubs launch &
Hamilton Sub-Hub goes camping!
Our Sub-hub home churches are back this fall and if you’re a youth or young adult looking for a community centered on the liberating love of Christ we’d love to connect you with one of these small groups so e-mail us for more info at hubleadership@gmail.com
Hamilton kicked off the year with the first ever Sub-hub camping trip! From Ham-Sub leader Saskia “We had great weather, good food, and wonderful company. Some memorable moments: the racoon stealing the swedish berries and bringing the bag to the top of a tree, the little minnows nibbling our feet, making celebration cookie peanut butter smores around the campfire, late night chats at the beach looking for stars but only seeing clouds, and playing lots of lawn and board games!”
