Anyone who doesn't feel they have a place to go, who struggles with judgment of their amazing neurodivergent and differently-abled children from others, adults who want to be around others but not feel forced to move beyond their comfort zones, teens who maybe connect best through video games are welcome at Messiah this Thanksgiving.
This place is a place for you!
On November 26 from 11am to 3pm at Messiah Lutheran Church there will be kid and sensory friendly food set out as a grazing table, a sensory room available if anyone's feelings need a place to reset, a movie playing in the sanctuary, large movement games set up in the gym, tabletop games set up in the lobby, and a space for anyone who wants to bring their preferred game system and connect with others through games like Roblox, Minecraft, etc. There will be at least two amazing paraprofessionals from VPS schools who will be here to help out and more can be available if needed!
