Learning to cope with a diagnosis and treatment options for children with disabilities is a daunting process. Every journey in our life has a purpose, and even in the tough times there is so much that God can teach us. We can enjoy our children and our role as parents as we learn to help our children conquer their challenges and celebrate their strengths and accomplishments. The purpose of this group is to find the hope, healing, and learning that comes through faith and trust in God. Our focus will be to find the inspiration that we receive when looking at and sharing the scriptures, and encouraging one another through the challenges of being parents and caregivers of special needs children. Meets on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Wed 17 Feb 2010 7:00 PM Ash Wednesday Service
What a wonderful way to begin LENT, by coming to church. Last few years have been very meaningful as you enter you are given a piece of paper to write down something you did wrong. Then you bring it to the front to put in a bowl and putting your thumbprint onto the CROSS Whiteboard--you then see your paper and everyone elses be poof into thin air as they disappear. This service is very cool. Hope you can come.

Tue 02 Mar 2010 9:00 AM Due Process Hearing for my daughter's educati
We would truly appreciate your presence and support at this Due Process Hearing concerning my daughter's education. My daughter is a 9yr old beautiful Deaf girl who also has an Autism Spectrum Disorder. My wife and I have struggled with McKinney ISD for 4 important years to give her an appropriate education. We want our daughter to attend Plano ISD's Deaf Ed program in nearby Plano so she can have teachers who are fluent in sign language and so my daughter can be around other Deaf peers like her. The Hearing is open to the public and we would love to have fellow members of the Deaf community come support us too and help us show the education people what Deaf culture and sign language is about. Thank you so much, SF and family.
