Eagle Wings disAbility Ministries

Most disabled individuals have wrested with the fact that all children of God depend on each other. Many of the rest of us carry an invisible disability with us every day: the destructive illusion that we must be self-sufficient. As we open our hearts to a relationship with others, may their wisdom and experiences help us melt away that isolating illusion.

Who is Didi?


Let me tell you about Didi Prentice...she is one of the most amazing and gifted people I know. For as long as many have known her, she's always found a way to be in support of those who have special needs, whether phyisical or mental. Didi puts her support into action! She is a teacher for Path with Art and teaches watercolor classes in her home. Last year Didi donated her watercolor artwork to Eagle Wings as a fundraiser in Mukilteo. Her artwork is simply beautiful. Read more...

Visiting a New Church


This past Sunday, my husband and I had the joy of visiting University Presbyterian in Seattle. Saying that the experience was great would be an understatement. Everyone who knows me, knows that I really enjoy a good gospel choir. This past Sunday, their gospel choir shared their gift of music. They were powerful. Opening with the little children singing "This Little Light of Mine" and having the choir sing back up was awesome. I loved the heart they brought into the song. It came alive. As the leader turned to the congregation, the tears immediately fell from my cheeks as I remembered my own daughter singing up front in Seattle Children's Chorus. It's been quite a while since I've heard her voice. They also led a number that we are familiar with in our own church, "Ancient Words (...ever true, changing me and changing you...)". So many things spoke to my heart. The powerful message of HOPE delivered by Rev. Kay Broweleit was AWESOME! She and her husband David have been long-time Champions of Eagle Wings and it was our first meeting face to face. They are so kind. After hearing her share her heart, I can how passionate they really are about living a life of hope and love. On the cover of their church bulletin was an eagle and Isaiah 40:28-31 written. Imagine that! What a gift the family of UPC are to their community!

Celebration Co-ordinators ~

This past Saturday, we hosted our first Celebration Co-ordinator Tea at Bethlehem Lutheran church in Marysville. They do so much for our ministry. It would not be possible to host an event at a church without the outstanding support and organization of these volunteers. Yes, it's a one year commitment, but they love it! They have the charismatic ability to draw in others and get them all fired up about the event. They pull in all ages of volunteers to serve, host tables, help with photos, cook food, and generate excitement of the event all through their congregation. These Co-ordinators really pull together a supportive and well-balanced team to accomplish this great task and we appreciate each and every one of you. Our volunteers are the legs we stand on and without you we wouldn't be able to do what we do!!
