Disability Birthday Party Brings Joy
BFBC Pastor Brad Diehl said, “One thing I never realized — but I do now — is that many people with special needs have never had a birthday party. They never had friends come to their house for a party or give them presents. So, this is something we do a few times a year. Just to give them a birthday party so that they can open presents is special. It means a lot to them, and to their families, and it’s a blessing to us. We’re just thankful to do it,”
