Churches have been realizing that worship spaces and practices are not always accessible to people with disabilities and have been reaching out to Thrive for help. Thrive is hosting a series of roundtable conversations in the month of October with the goal of learning together, sharing resources, and brainstorming helpful and sustainable practices.

October 3, 1:00 p.m. EST: Disability consultant, Lindsay Wieland Capel, invites us to think through accessible worship spaces. Think beyond legal compliance to include things like offering sensory-rooms and alternate worship spaces. To register, click here.

October 31, 1:00 p.m. EST: Worship consultant, Katie Roelofs, invites us to think through how our worship practices can be more accessible and inclusive for all.

Comments
Is there a possibility that these sessions will be recorded? I've got a number of people who would love to participate but unfortunately they are being held during working hours for them.
Thanks for considering!
Yes! If you register for the event, we will send you the recording afterwards. We understand that the time won't work for everyone, but want to make the information accessible to anyone who is interested.
