Their tireless commitment to planning, organizing and carrying out the celebration events began over two years ago. Truly this has been their expression of their love for our spiritual and faith community. They are a blessing to our community. God is still speaking !  

Horton Center and Laconia!

Our Penny Pal Thaddy shared the fun of camp with another volunteer from our community- Sally Tinkham! This week was “Pride on the Mountain” week for LGBTQ+ youth and allies to “Be welcome, be loved, be yourself! Sally was a camper for many years at Horton Center and during college worked for three summers at Pilgrim Lodge, the Maine UCC camp.

Who else worked at one of these camps? Send the names to tinkhams@metrocast.net of people from the Congregational Church of Laconia who worked as staff members and we’ll include it in a future Newsblast!
