Risen Savior Lutheran Church
Jesus Cares Ministry Special worship service for anyone with special needs or cognitive impairments. We want to provide a welcoming, accepting, safe environment for families and individuals who feel left out of typical worship opportunities, are uncomfortable in crowds, or for whatever reason don't feel the Sunday worship time is for them. We want to serve you! Worship will be highly visual, make use of rhythm instruments, and have a simplified Christ centered message.

St. Sylvester Catholic Church
Son Treasure was established to offer respite for family members with special needs children to attend the 11am Sunday Mass, while we work with their special child in a secure, nurturing and learning environment. Utilizing many visual and adaptive techniques, our dedicated team of volunteers work side-by-side with each student, to learn about God and our Catholic faith and to prepare them for the sacraments. Our goal is to eventually reunite each child with his/her family in the Mass setting.
