11 am: Parables - begins September 25
Parables is a worship service for all abilities, particularly designed for those on the wider spectrum of neurodiversity or bodydiversity, or what has been sometimes termed “special needs.” Parables invites active, informal participation from those in attendance, and meets on Sundays at 11am. Special features include: Spirit scarves provided for Passing the Peace and dancing, fidgets, a visual schedule board, and a therapy dog or two. Parables is often called a “No Shushing Zone.” The program’s predictable format each week helps to create a welcoming space for worship, especially for those whose cognitive differences allow them to engage in the church experience more robustly. At Parables we celebrate the gifts of life’s interruptions as a way to find Jesus!
