Parents of children with special needs unite!!

 Parenting is hard.  Parenting children with special needs has its own joys and challenges—a village, or some understanding voices, or a word from parents of adult children who’ve been there-–can make all the difference.

 The Church of the Good Shepherd received a grant to support parents and siblings of special needs children.  We have two events scheduled to draw people together and see what happens from there—speakers, events, resources, etc. 

 Wednesday, October 23, 7:00-8:30 pm
