PENNWAY FRIENDSHIP GROUP
EMAIL friendshipgroup@pennway.org
A ministry for older youth and adults who have cognitive
impairments (Friends)

A ministry that builds one-on-one relationships between
mentors and Friends

A ministry that brings the family of God together to learn
about God’s love

An outreach opportunity for Volunteers to serve...
- as one-on-one Mentors
- as leaders/storytellers
- in music, craft/service project, food/events, room set-up
  and other teams

Group Meetings are designed for one hour and 15 minute
sessions. Sessions start in a large group with sharing and
singing. A Bible lesson is told by a storyteller and usually
includes group participation often in drama format. Mentors
then use One-on-One time to go over materials related
to the Bible lesson. Finally the group gathers again for a
praise and prayer time.

Pennway Friendship Group believes...

Everyone is created in God’s image and is deserving of Love,
Respect and Justice —in society and in our Church

Redemption is a gift from God and is not dependent on a
certain level of intelligence

Our Church is complete only when it includes all of God’s
children and when all people are seen as equals
