Do you long to be part of a church community where people of all abilities gather to worship, a church where the sounds of worship include a wheelchair rolling down the aisle, the tap of a cane, and the sound of people with differing intellectual disabilities lifting their voices together in praise and prayer? If so, we pray that this booklet will help your church have a "heart" for worship that is accessible to all and give you some practical "how to" ideas as well.If you are a pastor, a worship leader, musician, parent of a special needs child, a person with a disability, be encouraged. God is at work in his church as more and more churches are becoming irresistible, authentic communities build on the hope of Christ where people and families impacted by disability fully belong. To fully belong includes encountering God as the community gathers in worship.
