God's Special People Ministry
A program designed to meet the spiritual needs of people with special challenges.
Planning and Purpose
The summer of 1984 marked the beginning of our program when we offered
a two week Vacation Bible School to children with special challenges.
This developed into a weekly Sunday School program for children and adults.
While we minister to people with physical and mental needs, they have
the same spiritual needs as everyone else. Our goal is to share the gospel
with them, adapting lessons and handwork to fit the individual needs of
each student.
Staffing
The God's Special People (GSP) under the direction of Mrs. Carol Krawiec,
a certified Special Education teacher with over 30 years of experience
in the field. Carol has for the Delaware County Intermediate Unit, worked
for Elwyn, and is currently a special education teacher for the Ridley
School District. Along with Carol, our staff consists of an on-call registered
nurse and at present 5 dedicated teachers. Most members of our ministry
team have attended an in-depth training session conducted by Handi*Vangelism,
a ministry who is concerned with meeting the needs of people with special
challenges.
Sunday School Program
We meet each Sunday in the fellowship hall from 9:30-10:30am. Our program
consists of Bible lesson that have been selected carefully and adapted
where necessary. Each lesson is reinforced by visual aids, puppets, drama,
pantomime, films, etc… Singing and Bible memorization are also part
of our program. Student activity papers and handcrafts are geared to the
ability of each student. On the 4th Sunday of each month we have a birthday
celebration with special refreshments. On birthday Sunday, many students
go to the auditorium to participate in the morning worship. Our students
joyfully take part in prayer, church announcements, singing, and greeting
time. This has provided a wonderful opportunity for our students to meet
other people and feel a part of the congregational worship time.
Vacation Bible School
Each summer, in August we conduct a weekly Vacation Bible School program.
Students come each night for games, refreshments, Bible stories and crafts.
Many members of the congregation take part in this event which is always
developed with a special theme.
Invitation
We invite any child or adult with special needs or challenges to attend
our program.
Our Goal
Our goal is to present the gospel in a clear, understandable manner, so
that every student may come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ
and enjoy the abundant life He came to give us.
