Throughout the year, we host a respite program designed for families with special needs who need a break. Sunday Funday is a respite style program that provides a morning out every second Sunday of the month from 10:30am-2:30pm, during the school year. Our goal is to support you and to provide a fun, safe place for your child to learn about Jesus, while parents have a much-deserved morning out. It is designed for special needs children and their siblings 4 to 17 years of age. They rotate through various stations, including arts and crafts, music, games. Registration does not guarantee a spot and availability is based on a first come first serve basis based on volunteers and the ability to properly meet your child’s needs. Your child will need to bring their own lunch and any other items needed for a successful day. Complete the "Registration Form" and the notarized medical release form to register. A notary will be available on site at check in for your convenience- just bring a parent or legal guardian with their government issued ID. PLEASE NOTE: Registration must be completed by the Wednesday before the event in order to ensure that we have enough volunteers to have a safe and fun Sunday.
