In response to my blog last week about Disability Week, Steve Nyenhuis asked, "Our church celebrated Disability Awareness Sunday yesterday. Our Friendship Class joined the praise team in leading the congregation in worship. Members of the class also participated by greeting and ushering, reading Scripture and bringing God's greeting. Our pastor used Luke 14:1-14 as his text. All who worshipped were blessed, I'm sure. What other churches participated? Can you share your experiences, too?"
Comments
In years past we've used worship litanies, etc.. from our denomination, from the PCUSA and the United Methodist offices. This year we had two of our friendship students lead a litany with one of the teachers focusing on being all one body in Christ. These students then collected the offering with some help from the deacons. We celebrated communion together to close.
