"We are blessed at Epworth to have opened our doors to the deaf community. Every Sunday, more and more of our church family tries to use ASL," said Rev. Pat Loughlin. "We have an ASL interpreter at the 9:30 am Contemporary Worship Service. We now have a member of the Deaf community participating on the Praise! Team and they are learning some songs in ASL. I feel personally blessed and enriched by the presence of the Deaf community in worship and look forward to including them in every aspect of our church life."
Wednesday night Lenten vesper services and Holy Week services will be ASL-interpreted. Epworth UMC is located on Holland Glade Road, off Route 1 northbound, Rehoboth Beach; visit online at www.epworth-rehoboth.org. For more information, call 302-227-7743.
