Shining Stars Respite

This program is staffed by Shining Stars Classroom leaders and volunteers from Calvary Church. A registered nurse is present at all times. There is no charge for Shining Stars Respite.

Each child is paired with a carefully selected volunteer whose sole goal is to ensure that your child has a memorable evening. Before the families arrive, the volunteers are given their assigned child's cumulative file (respite registration forms and each update) and information about the night's activities.

Included in the evening is supper, games, crafts, special activities like gymnastics, dance, etc, special entertainment, music and much more.

Next Respite: February 11, 2012
Calvary Church from 5pm - 9pm

Shining Stars Respite will provide an enjoyable event for your child with special needs and their siblings. Join us for a fun musical adventure with Wiley Rankin of Jumping for Joy Music. His music runs the gamut from classical and rap to hand-clapping, jumping for joy music. An accomplished musician, Wiley plays numerous instruments. Audience participation means many of the children will be able to join Wiley on the stage. Wiley Rankin has performed for children and adults, at schools, festivals libraries and private parties, businesses, etc.

Other Programs: Sunday Morning

We meet every Sunday at 10:45am in Room D113. The SHINING STARS CLASSROOM is a safe and loving environment for children with significant special needs who benefit from a smaller classroom size, more individual attention, and curriculum delivered at a slower pace. Here the children experience and learn about God’s love through Bible stories, songs, activities, and art projects.
