Helping Without Hurting

Sometimes even if our hearts are in the right place our helping might be enabling, belittling, or threatening to those we are trying to love OR even to ourselves. Come and consider some new ways to do outreach.

News from Neighbors

Special Education Ministry (SEM) was founded in 1968 by a small group of parents of adult children with developmental disabilities as a Bible study program. Beginning with a handful of students and mentors, SEM has grown to include 62 students and 56 mentors using the worldwide "Friendship Series" as their curriculum. Special Education Ministry is a non-profit, interdenominational organization with financial support coming from area churches, charitable and private donations in and around Holland.

 

Visit them as they meet on Thursday evenings at Third Reformed Church or contact Mark Stephenson (616) 931-9868 or John Foster (616) 994-3076 for more information.
