Community Care - Friendship Club
Friendship Club is designed for individuals with developmental disabilities ages 12 - 112!
Friendship Club meets on the 2nd & 4th Thursdays September – May from 6:45 – 8:30 pm.
The Friendship ministry is all about building relationships between mentors and friends with disabilities as they together learn about Gods' love.
Meetings start in a large group with singing and hearing a Bible lesson, often in drama format. This is followed by one-on-one time, where mentors and friends go over the Bible lesson, do a craft activity, and prayer. Finally, the group gets back together for dessert and a social time.
Through the Friendship program, people with cognitive impairments will:
- Experience the joy of knowing they are
of value to God and God's people
- Grow in relationship with Jesus Christ
and with Christ's church
- Be truly accepted and loved by the Christian Community
