North Arundel Church
A disability ministry at North Arundel Church in Glen Burnie. We offer
services, equipment, etc. to the community as well as Nathaniel's Hope Buddy
Break the second Saturday of every month. This is a ministry where parents
of disabled children can bring their child/siblings one Saturday a month to
be partnered with a trained "buddy" and get involved in crafts, music,
games, etc. from 10AM-1PM so the caregivers can go off and take a break for
a few hours. This service is free of charge.
Contact Terri Kellum for additional information.
