Joint Signed/Spoken Services


These followed several significant meetings with our key local partners where much reconciliation took place.  Now, for the first time, our newly-named Signed Services of our newly-named Signing Fellowship are published alongside all the spoken ones. We are co-leading the other services once every three months. The arrangement is reciprocal. So Lydia, from our Signed Fellowship, was invited to preach Feb 1st  in sign-language, in all three of St Phillips spoken services that morning. She did so through our expanding team of interpreters, led by Jonathan(below last Sunday.
   That memorable experience, (below),  was witnessed for the first time by over 200 people at each. Twelve members of our signed fellowship attended. DHU are supporting Lydia to train as a deaf pastor. She’s progressing  well. The following flow charts show the common approach these developments fit within.
