HELLO DEAF CHURCHGOERS AND OTHERS...
My church recently started having all our regular Sunday services ASL interpreted as we have 2-3 regular deaf attendees and wanted to fully include them in our worship. We have been doing this a couple of months and sor far it has been well received. We would like to do more to introduce ourselves to the deaf community in our area, and attract more deaf visotors and their family and friends.
What we do right now: Regular worship including songs are interpretted, and interpteter stays for social/snack hour to help us chat and visit with our deaf members. We occasionally have other services interpreted like funerals and Christmas Eve and such as needed.
As a deaf or HOH person, what other services would you like to see us have, and how could we best communicate to local deaf/hoh community to let everyone know?
You can post suggestions here, PM me or e-mails me (My AIM ID is also my AOL e-mail address.)
Any suggestions are appreciated. This is new for us and we want to make this a success and could use any ideas how to do this right.
