News from Deaf La Crosse Lutheran Church
(an outreach of Shepherd of the Hills!)
Deaf Ministry is moving forward!
At the District level it is being reorganized for more effectiveness, as well as to secure tax-exempt status. Soon there will be a Board of representatives from SWD congregations, to provide input and help organize support for Deaf Ministry.
At the local level, many new things are happening. Our deaf brothers and sisters in Christ have more opportunity to learn from Pastor Reinke because they can watch him teach via streaming video. On Tuesday nights you may find them downstairs, watching Pastor Reinke on a movie screen. They can "interact" with him by computer in real time; they type in questions and Pastor Reinke's wife Dacia receives the e-mail and signs the question to her husband, who then looks at the camera and answers! Several deaf groups are participating in this way. One unexpected blessing is that a few "unconnected" deaf people have "stumbled" onto the "U-TV" program and now have a source for Bible teaching!
Pastor Reinke was in town recently, and he spent a day with the deaf congregation.
They began with Bible study and then headed out into the cold to do door-to-door canvassing, looking for deaf people, especially children.
How can we help? Pastor Reinke and Mike Lewis (lay leader) say that if we know of any deaf children who are mainstreamed into the public schools, we should tell them and their families about the opportunity to learn about God's love for them. Let them know about the study and worship opportunities with Deaf La Crosse Lutheran Church which meets at Shepherd of the Hills.
