Volunteer Spotlight: Lindsay Slovey, Special Needs Buddy

“I volunteer as a “buddy” in the Special Needs ministry. I spend one-on-one time during the church service with a young person with special needs. As a special education teacher in my daily life, I enjoy teaching children of all learning styles, but during this time, I am able to worship and experience Jesus in a whole new light. The most impactful Sunday I had volunteering was the morning we sang a favorite song of my young friend, and he sang aloud with the congregation. As tears were rolling down my cheeks, I was able to feel the love of Jesus around our entire congregation.

The Sunday I spend volunteering with the Special Needs ministry is the highlight of my month!”
