Immanuel Lutheran Church will share a monthly worship and fellowship opportunity called “All God’s People” on Sunday, January 6, 2013, 12:30-2:30 pm. This unique spiritual gathering will share the blessings of worship, spiritual care, and community for children and adults with disabilities, their families, and anyone wishing to participate in a new way. The brief worship service will be joyful, simple, and interactive with music, prayers of the people, a seasonal message for the season, and encouraging for “all God’s people” to participate within their range of ability. The service will be followed by a meal, providing an opportunity to build connections and a sense of spiritual support. All God's People is an opportunity for people with differing abilities and talents to be able to share the love of God. A Sign Language Interpreter will be present for the hearing impaired. The building is wheelchair accessible. Call for information regarding bathroom accessibility. Please join us on the first Sunday of each month at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 647 North Main St, Attleboro.

Hi, friends. Our teenaged daughters both live with severe & profound autism. During the 3 "All God's People" services to date, they have both taken active roles in the service. They're excited to go to the AGP services & the regular services at Immanuel, They're included & loved at this church. The AGP service & meal provide a good opportunity to meet other families who deal with similar issues, as well as a chance to find sympathetic ears.
