In this time of uncertainty, with our churches closed to the public, things are particularly difficult.
The Kairos Forum has a section providing prayer, reflection and resources for people with intellectual disabilities and their families.
The aim is to encourage prayer, share stories and accompany each other by linking up with people around the world.
The content will include bible stories, short films with music – singing prayers and shared worship.
Kairos uses Makaton, Widgit and Multimodal communication to share collaborative films, discussion and activities.
If you have any questions or want to contact the author of these resources, please email Cristina Gangemi of the Kairos Forum.
