Mandy Jones Sisson, Community Relations Director of The Mustard Seed in Brandon Mississippi spoke to the Rotary Club of North Jackson at the Club’s November 13, 2018, meeting. According to its website, The Mustard Seed “seeks to meet the spiritual, physical, and intellectual needs of adults with developmental disabilities by providing a loving and protected Christian community with meaningful activities that allow the participants to fulfill the potential that God has created within them.” Ms. Sissons discussed the role and activities of The Mustard Seed and its seedsters. One of the things she discussed is the painted ceramics that The Mustard Seed sells to help finance its activities. She also discussed some of the seedsters view their lives and the fact that The Mustard has waiting lists for its residential and day programs. According to Ms. Sissons, the majority of seedsters are Down’s Syndrome affected.
