Lafayette Federated Church

The journey with disabilities has highs, lows, and everything in-between. Whether your child is young or old, as a parent, we can all agree that sometimes you just need a break. Some days you’re just in need of some encouragement so join us Friday, October 11th from 7-9pm for a Night of Refreshment. Come enjoy a complimentary evening of live music with tasty treats and inspiring speaker, Seb Charles. Our hope is that you’ll be able to listen, relax, and connect with others who are on a similar journey. Not a church goer? It’s OK, come anyway!

 

 

Childcare is not available at the venue, but if you need childcare in the area, there are a number of resources available. These companies are not affiliated with, nor specifically endorsed by Lafayette Federated Church or the One Body Many Parts disability ministry, but they are publicly available resources that may meet your needs. Of course, please exercise due diligence before entrusting any caregiver with your precious loved one(s).
