The Care
Ministry - Bridge Builders

Bridge Builders Special Needs Ministry
“Bridge Builders” has been established
to help bridge the special needs of some of our children & students to
help them best access our curriculum and to help them to grow
spiritually and come to know Christ. It is also intended to be a
blessing to their families by allowing them more opportunities for
growth in Christ because the special needs of their child are being met.
August Update:
Bridge Builders provides assistance to children with special needs and
to their families. Thank you to those of you who have faithfully served
in the Bridge Builders Ministry for the past year with love and caring
hearts. As God continues to grow this ministry, we are in need of
additional one-to-ones to serve His children. We also need folks with
administrative skills to help with the organizational aspect of this
ministry. Please call Wendy Atkinson at 798-5278 if you are currently a
member of this ministry and would like to continue with your commitment
or join this special ministry.
Bridge Builders now has a
sensory room - a special room where students and one-to-ones can go when
a quiet learning space is needed. We would like to equip this room with
useful items for this ministry. If you or your Bible Study class would
like to make a donation, please visit the Giving Tree on the first floor
of the Administrative Building. Hearts with specific items have been
hung on the tree. Please take the heart you would like and drop it off
with a check (memo line designating “sensory room”) at the Financial
Office. Thank you so much for contributing to the success of this
ministry.
Friends of Bridge Builders
The Friends of Bridge Builders group is made up of parents, one-to-ones,
teachers and anyone in the church family who is interested in or is
already a part of this special needs ministry. The group was developed
to support and encourage each other and to provide an open forum for
discussion of needs, ideas and opportunities for maintaining and growing
this ministry. For more information you may contact Pam Gontkovic
(746-9021) or Laurie Friedl (427- 6839).
Please prayerfully
consider joining this ministry if God is calling you to this service.
