                                                     On Saturday, March 9th  these “teams” assembled at
                                                     Bethany Baptist Church for a monthly  guided session
                                                     with differently abled young people.


                                                     This program, founded by Deon Jones, was inspired by
                                                     her  son  Elijah,  who  was  born  with  Downs  Syndrome
                                                     and later diagnosed with autism.

                                                     UMCA  envisions  a  world  where  every  child  with
                                                     special  needs  finds  their  unique  creative  voice  and
                                                     lives  an  inclusive  life  while  their  families  share  a
                                                     journey of love and empowerment.

                                                     parents.  It  was  such  a  rewarding  and  inspirational
