New Jersey Council of Churches

This gathering is more than just a fundraiser; it is a celebration of the beautiful, resilient faith community of people with disabilities who reflect the very heart of God’s kingdom.

Your donation will directly support:
 Accessible worship and events for the broader community of people on the full spectrum of ability.
 A fully accessible space for community partners in education, the arts; social events to build extended community
and friendships
 Spiritual formation and pastoral care tailored to people with disabilities
 Resources and tools that empower individuals to grow in faith; in community leadership; in skills and social experience.

Just as the merchant in Jesus’ parable (Matthew 13:45–46), where a man finds a rare pearl so valuable, he sells everything he owns to buy it. It means something so precious—like love, truth, or purpose—that you’d give up anything to have it.
We believe that the lives, gifts, and stories of people with disabilities are treasures worthy of our full investment. Our community thrives because of the courage, faith, and joy that each member brings — and your support makes it possible for us to continue nurturing this sacred space.

Whether you give $25, $100, or more, every contribution brings us closer to a world where everyone — regardless of
ability — is welcomed, celebrated, and equipped to flourish.

We hope you will join us in lifting up these radiant pearls of great price. Your generosity affirms the God-given worth of every person and helps build a more loving, inclusive community where everyone belongs and everybody serves.

With gratitude and hope, grace and peace,

Rev Dr Joanne Van Sant, Pastor
