Growing in God's grace

All God's Children ministry

All God's Children is a ministry at NRUMC that supports children with special needs in all our children's ministry programs. Buddies work with children age 3 through grade 5 and are adults or high school students who:

  • Help a child adjust to the routine of a class or activity
  • Provide one-on-one help for fine motor tasks, such as using scissors
  • Encourage acceptance of the child by setting an example
  • Pray for the child
  • Help the teacher/leader supervise and monitor a class or activity
  • Assist so the child can interact with both children and teacher in an independent manner

We also offer respite care every fourth Saturday from 5-8 PM in the Education Building. The program is free, but parents do need to provide a bag supper or snacks. To participate, please RSVP to Ruth Andrews.
