Disability Awareness Sunday highlights Impact

Disability Ministry is as much about making people feel comfortable and welcoming to people

with disabilities as it is about removing physical barriers. This does not need to be “one more

ministry” to reach out to another group of people to meet their needs, but rather a gradual

process of teaching congregations the needs of people with disabilities. This may or may not

require a disability ministry committee, though this encourages an intentional ministry, but a

change in culture of how people with disabilities should be welcomed. This is an awareness that

crosses all committees and ministries, from the board of elders to community ministries to

Sunday School classes and more. It crosses all social groups, whether by ethnicity, by

economic status, or by age. As members of our congregations age, they acquire disabilities that

need to be accommodated so that they can continue to share in fellowship with other members

of the congregation.


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

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.
