“It was so uplifting. I will lobby vigorously for future collaboration. I went to bed with a smile on my face. Hanging out with these wonderful young folks was food for the soul.”
“What a great time we had last night! The love that was everywhere in that place! Tears in my eyes typing this. Thank you and all from your church! What a witness to God you all are! Jonathan woke up dancing!?
“It was a wonderful party! The 3 of us plus our other three pals totally enjoyed all the fun… Thank you, thank you, thank you… We totally agree that our different ableness makes the world a better place and the support and prayers from your congregation makes a difference!
