Connected -A Special Needs Ministry of DUMC

09/10/2026

Hello Connected Crew! We kicked off the evening with an awesome burst of music, thanks to DUMC’s own Mark Lamback and Kirk Liemohn. They had everyone singing, smiling, and lifting their voices in pure joy — the perfect way to bring our group together.
Then the creativity really bloomed. Our friend Lindy Farley led a hands-on floral‑arranging session where everyone crafted their own gorgeous bouquets. Whether taken home to brighten a room or gifted to someone special, each arrangement was a little piece of happiness.
We’re so grateful for the laughter, the fellowship, and the amazing friends who shared their time and talents. Nights like this remind us just how fun and meaningful community can be.

On September 3, our Connected Crew and friends gathered for an exciting Board Game Night that was anything but boring!
The evening was filled with fun, laughter, and meaningful fellowship as attendees enjoyed a variety of games, including UNO, Connect 4, Monopoly, and dominoes. Friendly competition brought energy to the room, while smiles and conversation created a welcoming and memorable atmosphere.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event such a wonderful success. We look forward to many more opportunities to connect and create lasting memories together!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us last night for Gym Games 🏀
It was such a joy to catch up with familiar faces, meet new friends, and spend the evening laughing, playing, and connecting together.
We're excited to share that we welcomed 36 participants and had an incredible team of 19 volunteers helping make the event a success. This was one of the largest turnouts we've ever had for a Connected event!
Thank you for bringing your energy, enthusiasm, and community spirit. We can't wait to see you at our next event!
