"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good." 1 Corinthians 12: 4-7
Everlasting God

"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 ts 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."
