Disability Awareness Sunday highlights Impact

The last Sunday in September has been designated by the CNH Board of Directors as Disability Awareness Sunday. People with disabilities is one of the least reached group of people with the Gospel around the world, including the United States. The District Disability Ministry Committee (DMC) has been working since 2011 to encourage CNH churches to reach out to people with disabilities, both by removing architectural barriers and including people with disabilities in church programs. Please consider focusing time during this Sunday to raise awareness about people with disabilities, to follow the command to, “Bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame…so that my house may be full.” Luke 14: 21, 23.

The mission of the Disability Ministry Committee is: “To equip the Church to reach out,

include, and encourage full participation of people with disabilities and their families in

the life of Christ’s Church.”

Disability Awareness Sunday - 2024 Highlight

The PeaceAbility Ministry of Peace Lutheran Church, Sacramento, accepted the District Disability Committee’s challenge to celebrate September 29 as their Disability Sunday. 

They had a delicious potluck, ice cream sundaes and baklava! Additionally, they created a new banner for their ministry (the handprints on the cross-shaped material are only the beginning of it)! The most fun was the “Find Someone Who” game. They learned so much about each other. Nate Pevy, the youngest of the participants, had the earliest submission of answers!  November 9 is the next PeaceAbility event – come join Peace Lutheran for their game night.
