The Created to Belong event is for all. We will be making this event as accessible and inclusive as possible for people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, those of us who are neurodivergent as well as those people who are interested in inclusion. Let's celebrate together!

Celebrating disability and being made in God's image
A day of celebrating God's image in all people, as we worship God together, reflect on His Word and practically look at ways in which we can embrace disability inclusion in our own lives and places of worship.
The day will be practical as well as time to engage with each other and worship God. There are workshops in working with wool, creating visual timetables for people with additional needs, and many more! Get the latest updates on our Created to Belong Facebook page.
Main speakers and Workshop Leaders:
- Jeremy Balfour - One of our Keynote speakers
- Janneke Klos from Count Everyone In, will be leading two Makaton workshops during the day as well as leading us in Makaton during our sung worship
- Suzanne Lofthus of Cutting Edge Theatre
- Centre for Autism and Theology
- Godly Play Scotland

Please join us for Created to Belong! As it says in Psalm 100 verse 3:
"Know that the Lord is God. He made us, and we belong to him. We are his people. We are the sheep belonging to his flock."
