  At the business meeting of the National Association of the Blind in 
Communities of Faith, we discussed the possibility of having a Sunday 
morning service as part of the activities of the National Association 
of the blind in Communities of Faith at the convention of the NFB. I 
spoke with Mrs. Maurer and Mrs. Jernigan regarding this matter. Our 
organization has declared a blackout regarding services during Sunday 
mornings since workers are needed for convention activities. A Sunday 
morning service has the potential to draw people away from assisting 
in convention activities.
The 2011 convention will operate on a different schedule then is 
typical for our NFB conventions. In 2011, Sunday will be seminar day, 
Monday will be registration day, Tuesday will be board meeting and 
Division day.
Mrs. Jernigan indicated that we could possibly have a service on 
Sunday afternoons on a normal convention schedule. There are other 
activities that usually occur on Sunday afternoons, such as 
Resolutions Committee meeting, other meetings, and the mock trial.
I am certainly thankful for having our devotions an hour prior to 
each morning session of the convention. We certainly have awesome 
services on these days.

Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions 
regarding this matter.
