Spirit Helpers
Sunday Mornings
It is our desire here at Royal Oak First to show the love to all people and to incorporate them into the life of the church. Spirit Helpers provide one-on-one, individual care to children with special needs, allowing them to join classroom activities or interact solely with Spirit Helpers during the worship service.
If you are interested in becoming a Spirit Helper, or if you think your child could benefit from this program, contact Danielle Moody at dmoody at rofum (dot) org.
