Dumfries, Va. — Spirit Life Church in Montclair will offer a Bible study for adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities for participants ages 18 and up.
The church meets at 10 a.m. Sundays at Forest Park High School in Montclair, and the Bible study group, Friendship Club, meets in the cafeteria after worship service to study the Bible and have fun.
“It seems that many churches turn a blind-eye to [people with disabilities] (not just the adults with disabilities, but children too). I think it stems from fear of the unknown: not knowing how to interact with people who are “different,” not wanting to offend them or their loved ones by using politically incorrect language,” said Spirit Life Church spokeswoman Sarah Meisenhelter. “We believe all people can learn about God and have a relationship with him and we just want to make that available for those who want it.”
Those who are interested in learning more about the Bible study group should call 703-819-2919 or email sarahallen22@hotmail.com.
