MINISTERING TO THOSE WITH

SPECIAL NEEDS
Did you know that many parents
who have children with special
needs are not able to find a
church home because nothing is
in place for their child and family
on Sunday mornings? Well it's
time to change this!

Beginning in 2015 any family in

our community who would like to
chat about what participation at
AUMC could look like, due to
special needs in their family, are
encouraged to contact me. We
will meet and make a plan so that
their family is able to participate
in the life of our church! Please
share this information with any
family you know who might need
special accommodations.

Also, if you're interested in

helping in any way (no
experience with children of
differing abilities required) or
you know someone who enjoys
working with special needs
children, youth, or adults please
contact me.

The Altar flowers today are given to the glory of God.

Please Pray For Peggy Aglubat; Irylanna Butler; Alli Callender; Nancy Clark;
Victor Connor; Helen Counsell; Eugene Deane; Harry Fluharty; Tammy Fritz;
June Moon Gaedecke; Chad Gittings; Kathryn Gray; Liz Hood; Nan Hutcherson; Roy Jones; Jeremy Long; Ralph Miller; Don & Pat Milleson; Art Oliver;
Nancy Reed; Paula Smith; Bunny Taylor; Travis Whetzel; Ernestine Williams;
Dannie Wright
Today the Friendship Class will begin a study of the apostle Paul using the
PBS documentary "In the Footsteps of St. Paul, with David Suchet," supplemented with readings from Paul's letters, and Acts of the Apostles. We invite all who are interested to join us.
