Lovers Lane Academy for the Deaf
"A school for Deaf youth, a unique ministry among churches of all denominations, has started at Lovers Lane UMC, Dallas. The Lovers Lane Academy for the Deaf (LLAD) opened in August with six students as it offcially began the 2008-09 academic year. "Executive Director/educational leader Peggy Key and her team of teachers and volunteers bring the highest level of commitment, compassion and skill to their mission of helping Deaf teens realize their life potential. The students study the usual academic subjects at the level that best suits their personal needs, plus they learn communication and practical living skills to equip them for the future. "All of the academics and social skills are under-girded with a strong faith foundation as the teens also learn biblical principles and experience devotionals and a weekly service of Holy Communion, worshiping and maturing in spirituality and faith understanding." The above is a excerpt from the North Texas Conference Reporter by Dr. Joan G. LaBarr, Editor. LLAD is a ministry of Lovers Lane United Methodist Church and thus a nonprofit 503b organization. We accept donations. Please contact Laurie Watts, Finance Director of Lovers Lane, at lwatts@llumc.org for more information. |
