Sensory Training Available to You!
We sent out information Monday regarding the Sensory Training which will be available this month. This is an opportunity for us as a tribe to respect the difficulties some children have with sensory disturbances. Whatever we can do to create a comfortable and secure place for all our children is something we must do. The training is very short and you will walk away with a new understanding of the struggles associated with sensory issues. Training is available to everyone. An on-line training option for those unable to attend the ‘live’ training will also be available soon. The next training date is Sunday, October 20 th , at 5:30 p.m. in Room C-270. Our official ‘launch’ date as the first “sensory inclusive church” in Birmingham will be during Fall Festival on October 27 th where we will be able to offer a special sensory booth/truck provided by Kulture City.

  1. Small Groups meet tonight in the SOC.

Path of Hope Brick Campaign
The Path of Hope Brick Campaign serves to provide a brick pathway to front doors of the new emergency shelter. The bricks symbolize the continuous efforts made by volunteers, donors, and staff to encourage hope. In purchasing a $100 4X8 engraved brick, you help build the restoration of dignity, respect, and hope to all who will walk up the Path of Hope to enter a nurturing and empowering environment of the new emergency shelter.

I'm ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille!
That's right! It's that time of year when we zoom in on the beautiful little faces of the children of the ECC. School pictures begin today through Friday in the Chapel. We have a lot of "scene stealers" in the ECC!
