Did you know that December 3rd each year is the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities?
Did you know that this year, it also happens to fall on a Sunday?
What a great opportunity to intentionally celebrate the gifts of people of all abilities in your church community! To make this easy, Christian Horizons has put together a number of resources, including videos, a service guide, and a complete sermon around the theme of EveryBody Belongs. As geography and availability permits, someone from Christian Horizons would be more than happy to present as part of your service if this is helpful.
Regardless of whether you use these resources or not, we hope that you will take a service sometime in the coming year to really be intentional about welcoming people with disabilities and acknowledging the needs and opportunities of being the diverse Body of Christ, together.
