Worship as One: Varied Abilities in the Body of Christ
Barb Newman literally wrote the book on worshiping as the Body of Christ made up of people with varied abilities. This session explores the ideas in her book, conversation about the content, and practical applications from it that pastors, worship leaders, families and all churchgoers can put to good use in creating an inclusive community.
