[Faith-talk] accessibility of church service material

[Jenny Keller]

I am a member of the LDS church.  

the hymnals a two volume bound braille volumes and the Sunday School material and Relief Society, which is our women's group materials are available on the website via just reading it on the site and being aboe to click on the scripture references, or audio that you can download or just listen to in mp3 format.

the bulletins and such are not accessable.  But I'm sure if I asked them to email me the contents they would.  I just never thought to do so.

So I just listened to some songs and the other stuff read in the bulletin. For instance, we have to respond as a congregation to readings; I think its called the call to worship or something.
