Grace International School

"A Hope-Filled Look Inside Our Child with a Disability"

Our Children who have disabilities are amazing people. They have challenges and they have unusual abilities, all of which make them complex, unique and wonderfully "differently able bodied" persons. Our speaker has served for 13 years as a chaplain to Hope Network, one of the largest Christian networks of services in the State of Michigan for men and women who have disabilities, and their families. He and an attorney ran that agency's "Community Partnership Center" which provided a wide range of services to help people think "outside the box" regarding the special needs of people like your child. His book Parables of Hope sensitively shares the stories or parables about his friends with disabilities and the life lessons and hope they taught him. His insights will provide a fresh look into the strengths, the struggles, the needs, and the contributions of a person like your child with a hidden or obvious disability.

Parent's Alcohol and Drug Workshop

October 7th, 2008

The Well Member Care Center

7 p.m. Second floor conference room

"Drug Proofing our Kids"

Every parent wants to protect his/her child from the problems of drug and alcohol abuse. But can we? What is helpful? What isn't? How can we address some of the risks that our kids face? And what are the signs that there are drug problems and what can we do when we spot them. Rev. Al Hoogewind has both taught drug prevention and drug counseling courses as well as done drug prevention in schools, and alcohol and drug treatment with youth. In this workshop he will seriously, yet humorously, present ways to address the scary world of alcohol and drug abuse with youth.
