SPECIAL NEEDS MINISTRY

JUST AS I AM

This ministry is focused on helping and encouraging families affected by disability. God uses our brokenness to display
His grace, love, and acceptance to people of all abilities.

1-Cor. 12:25-26 …the members may have the same care for one another.  If one member suffers, all suffer
together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.

Luke 14:13-14 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,  and you
will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.

Galatians 6:2 Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

Our mission is to create a church culture that welcomes and accepts people of all abilities and integrates them into church life. We, as a body of Christ, are growing in understanding the realities of life with a disability and in reflecting the heart of Christ as we minister to families affected by disability.
FELLOWSHIP FOR FAMILIES AFFECTED BY DISABILITY
We invite all families who have children with special needs to a special fellowship that will take place on Saturday, April 12, at 5 pm at our church Activity Hall.
 
 It will be a time to share stories, offer encouragement, and lift each other up in prayer. Whether you are seeking guidance, friendship, or simply a moment of respite, you are welcome here. We believe that God has entrusted each of us with our precious children for a divine purpose. As we gather, let us draw strength from His promises and find comfort in His love.

We will try to provide a buddy (individual helper) for every child during this event.

BRUNCH FOR MOMS AND CAREGIVERS OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Dear moms and caregivers, we invite you to join us at our special "Just as You Are" ministry breakfast that will take place on Saturday, April 26, at 11 am, in our church for time of encouragement and fellowship!
