Ocean Grove, in it's 151st year, has a long enriched heritage
of multi-generational families who have summered here. Gail
Hutton, who resides in Florida and lives in a tent during the
summer months, has a beautiful tale to tell.
Throughout the season, Gail loves listening to preachers and
teachers as she attends Auditorium services and Bible Hour.
While sitting on her tent porch, Gail also enjoys the musical
offerings from the Great Auditorium all summer long. "There
are opportunities for one day visitors as well as summer
residents and year-round Ocean Grover's to experience God's
work here in Ocean Grove".
In 2017, Gail penned a Love Story about Ocean Grove. To fall
in love with a place you call home is one of life's most precious
gifts. "The reason I continue to come home is because of the
values, the uniqueness, and the opportunity to take part in
spiritual programs". The anticipation of arriving in Ocean Grove
each summer, to spend time with family, now the seventh
generation of Ocean Grover's, and the Camp Meeting makes
her heart beat stronger. " Gail shares enthusiastically what the
founding fathers set out to do - developing a special inspiring
place that would exist far into the future for generations. "I am
committed to seeing the success continue for a vibrant,
spiritual community that will still be serving their values". Gail
and her family's long standing involvement and love for Ocean
Grove continues to be a cherished tradition that's a blessing to
both her and the Camp Meeting.
Giving is in her roots...
Thank You
