It will be held once again at First Christian Church, 20794 Hwy 92, in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The church is less than a mile from Deaf Missions.

This yearly event features ASL interpreters and deaf volunteers providing live interpretation of presentations such as The Last Adam. Hearing guests are also invited, of course, and we expect you will enjoy watching the expressive communication of American Sign Language during the shows and throughout the museum. It can be a real learning experience to be surrounded by people speaking the beautiful language of ASL!
