Tonight on Ministering to Children with Learning Differences and 
Their Families


            For Immediate Release November 29, 2011

            Join Church Publishing Incorporated on Facebook 
tonight to explore Ministering to Children with Learning 
Differences and Their Families, with author/experts, Susan 
Richardson ("Child by Child"), and Audrey Scanlan & Linda Snyder 
("Rhythms of Grace").

            How: Go to the Facebook page of Church Publishing 
Incorporated, tonight, Tuesday, Nov.  29th at 8:00-9:00PM Eastern 
Time.  Ask questions of the authors, who will share responses to 
questions about how churches can minister to children who have 
learning differences and their families.  And share your own 
thoughts on how children can be welcomed in the Church School 
classroom, worship, and all experiences of congregational life.

            One participant every 15 minutes will be randomly 
chosen to receive a copy of one of the authors' books.  The event 
will be moderated by Sharon Ely Pearson, Christian Formation 
Specialist for Church Publishing Incorporated.

            The chances that a child on the autism spectrum 
participates in your Church School is likely.  Since most Church 
School teachers are volunteers with little training in working 
with children who have special needs, how can we make sure we are 
ministering to the child and the adult in our classrooms? Rhythms 
of Grace: Worship and Faith Formation for Children and Families 
with Special Needs by Audrey Scanlan and Linda Snyder offers 
lesson plans to use in classrooms for all ages and abilities.  
You can learn more about their ministry to children with special 
needs at www.rhythms-of-grace.org/.  (978-0-8192-2363-0 | $16.00 
| Morehouse)

            Child by Child: Supporting Children with Learning 
Differences and Their Families, by Susan Richardson is a how-to 
guide to integrate children and youth with special needs into
            church programs and activities, including worship.  
It includes how to train volunteers and staff for hands-on work 
with children and youth who have special needs.
            (978-0-8192-2751-5 | $14.00 | Morehouse)

religious, or secular bookstore; through any online bookseller,
