Special Needs Worship

Jesus Cares MinistriesSt. Mark's Lutheran Church

Connecting individuals with
special needs and
their families to Jesus

“You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Psalm 139:13,14

What is Jesus Cares?

Attending worship can be a challenge for those caring for individuals with special needs.  Surprises might present themselves, it might be difficult to focus, and others might not understand the challenges.  Despite all of this, caregivers still want those with special needs to know that Jesus cares about them, too.

That’s where Jesus Cares comes in.  Jesus Cares Ministries is a ministry providing worship and fellowship for individuals of all ages with special needs, their families, and their caregivers.

Jesus Cares is designed to provide an easy-to-follow worship service in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.  Our monthly worship services last 20-30 minutes and are followed by a time for fellowship and snacks with other families and friends.

God’s blessings, and we’ll see you there!
