Congregations of all denominations are invited to observe Inclusion Awareness Day. Set aside a day to reflect on how your congregation includes persons with disabilities in worship, ministry, fellowship and learning every day of the year. Plan a special service or invite a member of your congregation with a disability to speak about inclusion in worship. We hope your Inclusion Awareness Day celebration will remove barriers to participation and open hearts, minds and doors so that worshipers of all abilities can participate freely every day of the year.
