THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2014 4:00PM – 7:00PM From the Desk of Andy Jung… Families face many challenges. Most families have their hands full with busy schedules, individual challenges and family dynamics. It is just about all they can do to make it day to day with some sense of sanity! Some families face additional challenges than most. Families with children who have exceptional needs deal with everyday life plus the additional stress of managing the special circumstances. The exceptional needs could be physical, emotional, or both. Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), and Down Syndrome are just a few of the many exceptional needs children and their families face on a daily basis. Unfortunately, most churches are ill equipped to handle children who have exceptional needs. Most churches do little to support the parents and siblings of those with exceptional needs. In defense of these churches, it is a large commitment on the part of the church to provide ministries and support for the children and their families with exceptional needs. Consequently, many families who need special care are often neglected and forgotten by the Christian community. At First Baptist, we want to be a place where families can come and be a part of the congregation in every way. We want to have in place processes and foundations to not only minister to the children or youth with exceptional needs but also minister and support the parents and siblings. We are looking to put a lead team together to begin studying the needs and processes of integrating families with exceptional needs within our church family. This lead team will work to establish the foundation for this special area of ministry and make recommendations to the deacons and the rest of the church family. If you are interested in being a part of this lead team, please contact Michael Furr or me as soon as possible. Our hope is to begin meeting in January 2015. (continued) This Sunday, we continue “Matters of the Heart” by looking at how we deal with loss and disappointment. We look to the life of Moses and the disappointment he must have felt when he could not experience the Promised Land as was promised to the Israelites. Let’s consider how we can trust God when life doesn’t go as planned. See you on Sunday! Andy THANK YOU Once again First Baptist has demonstrated her ability to express God’s love. I am very thankful for each expression of love for my family at my father’s death. Thank you to each one who sent a card or email expressing your sympathy and prayer support. It has been a difficult few weeks for my family. However, Dad is at peace now. First Baptist continues to have a very special place in our heats.
