Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, Delegates to the 62nd Regular Convention of the Atlantic District; President and Bishop Taylor,
Greetings in the Precious Name of Jesus!
Your partners in ministry at the Mill Neck Family of Organizations and Lutheran Friends of the Deaf write to congratulate you on the upcoming gathering of the congregations, schools and organizations of the Atlantic District, LCMS. For over 75 years we have enjoyed your prayers, gifts and participation in our ministry to the deaf and hard of hearing. Mill Neck Manor School for the Deaf serves deaf and hard of hearing children from infancy through high school in wonderful and expansive ways. Mill Neck Services provides amazing opportunities for deaf adults in Day-Hab, job opportunity programming, skill development and counseling. Our audiology center is fully equipped for those in need of testing.
We strive to bring the Gospel to all we serve in both word and deed, and covet your prayers and support. Don’t forget the Mill Neck Apple Festival this fall on October 11 and 12!
Exciting new efforts in offering ASL classes in the Syosset School District as well as on campus will be available to all our partners. We treasure opportunities to serve Atlantic District congregations as well. If your church needs interpreting services or other services for deaf parishioners or community residents, please call at 516-922-4000.
With peace and joy in the service of Christ,
The Rev. Dr. David H. Benke
Chairman of the Board of Trustees
