A Respite Saturday Courtesy of Our Church!
Our church, as part of its Access ministry to the disabled, is offering parents a respite Saturday on April 9th from 12:30 to 4:00 for special needs kids and their siblings at no cost. What a fabulous idea! Volunteers will be trained to care for these kids in a structured environment, with games, crafts, snacks and other activities. If you live in the Hampton Roads area and want more information, check out www.trinitynorfolk.com and click on Ministries, and then click on Access Ministries to register or for more info. Caroline is a little old for something like this now at 15, but I am hoping that many other parents can take advantage of this opportunity in our city! Thank you, Trinity Presbyterian Church and my dear friend Rebecca for heading this up! I hope many other churches can offer this kind of support ministry for parents with kids who are a little different.
How WONDERFUL! I long for respite!
