[Faith-talk] accessibility of church service material

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi Tina,
I think I'll do that if I attend a church with a bulletin.
Yes we had call and response stuff in the methodist church like the call to 
worship.
In those times, I listened and didn't feel real included. But I listened and 
stood with everyone else.
With a braille notetaker, I could read it but I'd be sitting down though.

It is called the call to worship. I get the bulletin in e-mail. i used
to put it in mybraille note when i used it and now just read it and
sometimes write down music lyrics if  need them. I think there are
places online that will make and send out hard copy braille of files
you e-mail thembut don't know much more than that
