A note from ABCNJ Senior Regional Pastor Lee B. Spitzer: " I had the pleasure of preaching at FBC Hightstown on November 25, and following the service, spent some time with the youth. It is very encouraging to me to see the church welcoming children with disabilities and including them into the life of the church."
