Special Needs Fellowship
Special Needs Fellowship Creates Dignity, Community and Joy
Our Special Needs Fellowship creates a beloved community for adults with different mental and physical challenges from group homes in north-central Connecticut. It's a place where everybody knows your name! Prior to the pandemic, the fellowship met on the second Monday of the month from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, September to June, and we hope to be able to start again in the near future. We begin by singing folk and spiritual songs. This is followed by crafts or some other activity and finally a round of healthy snacks and drinks. At its best, the fellowship enables us to see far beyond disabilities to the beautiful people within. We hope to create a community of dignity where all are welcome and cherished.
VOLUNTEERING: Every month we have a special activity. If you would like to help we need mature, patient and compassionate volunteers (ages 13 to adult) to assist with singing, crafts, snacks and just having a good time.
