[Blindtlk] rides from church members

[Ericka Short]

Cheryl, you are soooo right!

Steve, that is a good idea but I haven't sold it to the  congregation  yet. 
I"ve been trying for years.  fi am thinking that  after they purge the 
membership rolls in 2014 and realize how few  members they have the tune 
will change.  You are so right that  congregations are hurting.  Sunday we 
were to have a meeting  to  update the  consitution and  we didn't h av 
enough folks attending to  have a quorum.  The weather didn't help, but  I 
think most of the  problem is we don't have enough  members that care.  I 
pray for our new minister  for she has been there three years and  is 
fighting for the  same things I am.  I have to say  when we  had an 
opportunity to  have a blind member they were willing to fork over the  cash 
to purchase a braille hymnal.  I was pretty surprised since I don't see any 
purchased large print ones and everyone knows I'd use it.  Theydo mnake 
their own large print bulletins and   they're popular.  We have a mixed bag 
of attitudes on our church, but not getting a ride somewhere now that is a 
problem I"ve never had.  What a stuck up church.  I'd look into other 
congregations with your particular doctrine and see what you get.  Call each 
church office and  talk to the priest/pastor or at least the secretary. 
Lots of churches  have a website now so you can   look them up and see what 
they offer.  I made a big effort to  make certain ours was speech software 
accessible.
