I know I'm a few months late in response to this post, but maybe it'll help future leaders.
Your best option to to talk to a local Deaf Branch/Ward member. Check out deaflds.org for locations. I'm a leader in Utah, so if you need help at any time, email me.
As for which sign to use in reference to Savior, Christ, Jesus. I jsut use what's in the song. we do a lot of simcom in our branch and it's esier on my brain and I am not changing the words the song artist has been inspiried to use. about 90% of the terms referring to Christ have a sign, so I just use that.
email me with questions,
I'm developing my own ASL interpretation blog hopefully that gets up and running soon!

I have used mostly www.aslpro.com and www.signingsavvy.com, as well as two books (ASL dictionaries). Since I am so new to this, I was frustrated to find that translating is not so simple. :) Often I find two or more different ways to sign the same word. Is there any one source that is considered the "most recent" or "most correct"? [I am still deciding which sign to use for change (verb), sword, shield (noun) and power (noun).]

Do people shorten signs for songs? The longer version of "Savior" is a combination of three signs. Do people interchange Jesus, Christ and Savior when teaching songs?

First of all, it helps me decide if I am using the right word. (Some sites don't even make it clear if the word is a noun or a verb. For example, if I just look up "power", I imagine the sign is different if you are talking about a verb or a noun.) Also, it makes it much easier to learn and will help me explain the signs to the kids.
