Please join us for Opening Day! This Sensory Room will be open for anyone who joins us at Oasis Church of Delaware! If you or your loved one needs to take a break and go to a calmer, quieter environment, this room is for you! If more sensory input is needed, you will find that here as well. We will be hosting free respite times throughout the year, as well as Sensory Santa, Valentine's Night Out, and Dining experiences for families touched by special needs at various times. All of these events will require pre-registration so we can assure that we will have qualified volunteers to care for your loved one. Our Support group is Unique Blessings on Facebook. We will meet at the Church and at High Five Autism Park, Glasgow De, weather permitting. This is a safe place for families to come together, build new friendships and find resources and information. We hope to create events for siblings as well. Currently, any teens are welcome to come out on Wednesday nights at 645 pm for Stepping Stones De youth group. On Facebook Stepping Stones DE, take a look at the videos and see our Awesome Youth Pastor Ken Cushwa (Cushy). We have ping pong, air hockey and lots of fun! Food is usually provided every Wednesday night for youth group! Join us!!!
