Sunday School

Sundays | 10:45-11:45am | Room 202

The heart of D2 is our Sunday School program. While the idea is to “have fun” learning about God, the real purpose is to introduce our developmentally disabled friends to the saving power of Jesus Christ and to make “church” a positive experience that they can understand and share with friends and family.  It is also an opportunity for volunteers to be touched and reminded about the heart of the Christian message and how it applies to all of God’s children.

Monthly Party

Generally on Sundays | 12:00-1:30pm | WCPC

A monthly party (actually about 8 times a year) is hosted at WCPC and offers dancing, crafts, singing and just plain fun! Postcards announcing the party theme, date and time are sent out to our mailing list.
