We will meet to encourage\, fellowship\, and dig into a book together. We will meet on the 2nd Saturdays of each month\, 10:00am-11:30am. There will be no childcare. The book for this year is: Parenting and Disabilities: Abiding in God’s Presence by Stephanie Hubach About the Book: Where is God in your journey of parenting a child with disabilities? Everywhere! Although parenting a child with exceptionalities can be an isolating experience\, nothing can separate God’s children from his loving presence. Do you struggle to see this? In a fallen world\, it can be hard for us to keep God’s presence in mind as we face life’s many challenges. That’s why this devotional\, with its thirty-one readings\, is designed to bring daily hope. With an eye on both cosmic realities and the nitty-gritty of daily life\, Stephanie Hubach\, a researcher in disability ministry and the mother of a son with Down syndrome\, explores the many blessings that come to you and your child through the promise of Immanuel\, “God with us.” Personal stories\, reflection questions\, and practical action points help you to rest in the encouraging truths of God’s unwavering faithfulness\, unfailing advocacy\, gracious understanding―and more!―and to draw strength\, value\, and purpose from his amazing gifts of grace.
