New Name, New Logo! (World) Lutheran Deaf Outreach! World - Notice the world picture in our logo? Signing is a picture – in our name you will often see the name Lutheran Deaf Outreach in words – look for the “world” as a picture, not as an English word. World includes your and my “world” here in our area, but it also includes Deaf people across the nation and around the World. Lutheran – we want to share God’s Word with Deaf people and their families. It is easy for people to understand Lutheran and what it means. We are Christian, but many people use that name and not teach right. Lutheran helps people know what we teach. Deaf – first goal is reach deaf people: children, youth, adults, etc… We also want to reach hearing people connected with Deaf Outreach to share in God’s work to build His Kingdom! Outreach – we are not about to sit in our area and satisfied. We want to reach out to people around us and share God’s love. This is exciting, challenging, dangerous, fulfilling!!! God wants us involved in His plan. We are setting up World Lutheran Deaf Mission to help coordinate the training and outreach with Deaf people and their families. We are now joining together Our Savior Deaf Lutheran (Madison), Holy Cross Lutheran (Delavan); Emmanu-el Lutheran Church of the Deaf(Milwaukee), plus our many outreach stations set up to serve deaf people around the Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin state-line area. Please pray for God to guide us and bless us as we join our congregations and outreach areas together in this exciting adventure

still miss very much. I really enjoyed living in Madison and Spring Green for seven years. I just want to share
with you that I am scheduled for my 3rd surgery for my right hip replacement on Jan 21. My left hip and
shoulder replacements had been so god with much less of pains. Pray for my strengths.” Love in Christ, Carol
Shirley Frazier, one of our members is an amazing lady. Why? She managed to get several projects done
within one month. First she had surgery on her neck on October 30 and was wearing a cast around the neck for
six weeks.. In spite of her cast, she organized an event at Berries Brothers Coffee Roasters in Waterloo last
November 21. The tour was very educational and interesting. We learn how coffee is prepared from beans to
coffee grounds. How different flavored coffee is made and the smell was wonderful. After the tour we had
good lunch and spent some money on gifts and coffee grounds.
Again Shirley with her husband, Lee took up the responsibility of the 9th annual Coffee Chat breakfast party at
the Egg and I on December 18th. Special guest speaker, Joel Mankowski shared very interesting information
on deaf and WSD history. Other things, door prizes and signing Christmas songs were included. It was
reported that the attendees enjoyed the party. Now we are looking forward to be celebrating the 10th
anniversary of Coffee Chat this coming December.

players. The party was held at the
Madison Association of the Deaf clubhouse.

her training in CMA program last December. She just passed the test and now is a certified medical assistant.

Message from the editor
Rev. Reinke has worked hard to improve the website which should be easier to use. I strongly encourage you to sign up for email to HH. Reason: to save us more mon-ey. Please try this out and let us know whether you like the website or not. When I arrived at church this morning, I could not believe what I saw on the parking area and sidewalk. The ice was all over and so smooth, David Buntin was brave enough to take action by hitting the ice with a snow shovel. Dawn came to my res-cue and walked with me. She even did some “dances” (sliding) Other men joined David and were able to make a safer path all the way from the church to parking ar-ea. Richard volunteered to make a purchase of several bags of sand. Big Help. Bless them. Perhaps you wonder why there is a picture of icicles in this issue. That is how we saw so much ice….
