The Grace ministry for families with special needs (Special Opportunities, Abilities and Relationships) is hosting a night of respite for parents. Parents can enjoy a break while leaving their children (birth to 70 y/o) in the lovingly care of responsible volunteers.
We know that every parent needs an occasional break from the 24-hour, 7-day-a-week care of their special needs child. This allows the parents or care givers a chance to go out, shop, or just relax, enjoying some much needed time to themselves. During this time, the children will enjoy crafts, movies, games, and other fun and awesome activities.
This program is FREE and is open to anyone who has a need. Dinner will be provided to all children at no charge (pepperoni or cheese pizza). Children with food allergies and special diets are welcome to bring their own food items.
This program is also opened to siblings (birth-8th grade). All parents of a child with special needs know that the siblings of that child do not have a “normal” life, and may miss out on some special events because of the greater need of the sibling. We provide opportunities for kids to connect with their peers and share their unique journey in a safe and secure environment. This evening we will also focus on making a special evening for the sibling which will be fun, exciting, and a night that they can do “normal” things.
When: Friday, May 3, 6 – 9pm
Where: Grace Church, 159th and Antioch, Overland Park
