Deaf Choir Fills Ministry

For the first time ever at the Canaan Baptist Church, 10 deaf members of the parish signed formed a choir and signed music during the regular service. Some members of the church described the silence as being the most moving thing that they had ever heard. The choir was inspired by Kizzy Pitts, and the service was held partly in honor to her (she died Sept 16, 2004 at the age of 27). Music can transcend the limits of speech, becoming a higher form of communication.
