I am just thrilled to announce that I will be providing an ongoing Sibshop for siblings in Austin beginning this July. I have been meeting with the children’s ministry director from Austin Christian Fellowship the last few months to discuss offering a Sibshop as part of the ACF ministry. Brandy Barr is an amazing woman with an amazing heart for children with special needs. One of the major focuses of ACF this year is reaching out to families of children with special needs and Brandy has been working to put together the pieces needed to begin a special needs ministry for the church. She and I have talked and met on several occasions to discuss the plans for the program and to discuss how to get Brooklyn involved in the church and the children’s program right now. She has been amazingly patient with me over the last year and has welcomed my desire to begin a Sibshop at ACF with open arms.

We had a meeting yesterday to discuss Sibshops and have planned to begin in July. The first Sibshop will be offered to ACF families only ( As kind of a pilot) and then our plan is to open it up to the community with the beginning of the new school year in September.

I am so excited about this opportunity and really feel blessed that doors keep opening for me to provide much needed support to siblings.
