In So Many Words

For my general post at 5MFSN on Friday, I decided to spend just one more week on the topic of special needs ministry. Since I have talked mainly about my own experiences for the last two weeks, I decided to post a list of resources related to this area. I included several books and ministries that our team researched prior to starting the Friendship Station, as well as some others that I found.

Some of you may remember my series of Autism Resources posts back in April of this year, as part of the Blogger for Autism Awareness effort organized by Genevieve at Mother of Confusion (currently a mother-to-be of more confusion!). I finally updated all the links on the table of contents for those posts and put them up as a separate page on this blog, so you can see the entire list under the Resources page.

As a follow to last week’s post at 5MFSN about our experience with church attendance in the last few years, I am sharing today about how our special needs ministry has gotten started and what we are doing to welcome the children with special needs, and their families, to our church. Please visit me there to find out more!

Just a quick note this morning to let you know that I am over at 5 Minutes for Special Needs today talking about our church experience since Michael’s autism diagnosis.

Okay, back to getting him ready for the school Halloween parade and party followed by a sleepover at his best friend’s house. Have a lovely day, everyone!
