WELCOME
TO
FAITH INCLUSION NETWORK

Our goal is to connect people with disabilities and their families to faith communities that are welcoming and genuinely want to include everyone. We also want to help faith communities become more inclusive by connecting them with resources and providing networking opportunities at conferences and meetings throughout the year.

Letter from the Director

Dear Friend,

Members of our all-volunteer, interfaith organization share the belief that all people, regardless of abilities, not only should be given the chance to participate in worship, religious education classes and social events, but also be given the chance to share their own gifts. Thus, we name our very first fundraising event,

"Gifts of the Heart Celebration”

We all have gifts to share and when we all get together, it is indeed a celebration.

Please join us on Thursday, January 26, 2012 as we come together to support FIN in an evening of food, fellowship and fun!
