Neighborhood Church begins “Angel Ministries”

The Neighborhood Church of the Brethren begins a new ministry this fall called “Angel Ministries”. This ministry is planned for persons with disabilities and their families. The vision for this ministry provides a safe space where families can worship with the congregation while their family member with disabilities is cared for by trained volunteers. The family member with disabilities will enjoy a Christian environment through song, prayer, story telling and engaging activities. At Neighborhood Church of the Brethren, we describe individuals with disabilities as an ANGEL (All Need God’s Everlasting Love). We believe ANGELS are created by God for a purpose. We exist to make access to worship, ministry and fellowship a reality. We are also here to offer support for the people surrounding the ANGELS and their families. An open house for Angel Ministries was Saturday, September 11, 4:00-5:30 p.m. Starting date for the ministry is Sunday, September 25. Contact Bob Hamlin at 630-957-8144 for preregistration.
