Recording is underway for a new disability ministry curriculum series that we are eager to launch. This series, titled The Life of Jesus, will be video-driven and contain 10 lessons featuring only our friends with disabilities. Mason set the bar pretty high when recording his lessons and we have already invited back to do more work in the future. Stay tuned as we hope to make this available in the near future.
