All Welcome?

More than 40,000 people with learning disabilities in Scotland In every community Living with support from family or paid staff

What the Bible says … people with learning disabilities are Made in the image of God –Gen 1:26,27 Fearfully and wonderfully made –Ps 139:13,14 People for whom Jesus died –John 3:16

One body, many parts and every part is needed 1 st Corinthians 12:

If people with learning disabilities are missing from our churches it’s like a jigsaw with a piece missing – it’s not complete.

Gifts and talents “ A Church that fails to include disabled people is itself disabled ”

Friendship Can we offer people with learning disabilities the gift of friendship and acceptance? Can we tell people about their friend Jesus in a way they can understand? Can we offer people with learning disabilities the opportunity to contribute to church life?
