John, Eli and Linda 2012
In 2003 when Audrey and Linda were both serving Trinity Episcopal Church in Torrington, Ct., Audrey as the assistant Rector and Linda as the Director of children and youth ministries, they received a call from a parishioner who had a son on the Autism Spectrum. He asked them to try and create a worship experience that He and his son could attend together as a family. So began the creation of Rhythms of Grace. John and Eli still attend regularly and are very active in promoting the experience throughout the Autism community.
