Do you have a child with special needs?
We have a fully staffed special needs ministry at Graymere. We have a team of dedicated individuals already serving needs of our current special needs students. On our Pre-K Hallway, we even have a Special Needs Classroom specifically designed for those with sensory issues, autism, or any other special needs.
We know it can be challenging to bring a special needs child to a worship service. Everyone needs the love of Jesus, and we want to help.
If you would like to attend a worship service or Bible class with us here at Graymere, there’s two things you can do:
1) Let us know you and your child are coming so we can prepare. You can email us. We’d also love to answer your questions!
2) Read our Social Story below. It will explain very simply what all will happen on Sunday.
We look forward to seeing you and your child!

There will also be a collection, but as a guest, I don’t have to put anything in – I can just pass the plate to the next person!

There will be a sermon, which is when someone teaches from the Bible.
