[Faith-talk] accessibility of church service material

[Linda Mentink]

Ashley,

We pick out the songs for the two Sunday services on Saturday night 
before the groups come to practice. I write them down, and give them 
to another blind woman in our church. So, I have a sneak preview. On 
Wednesday nights I just look up the song number when our pastor announces it.

I use a Millennium, and I sometimes balance it on the pew in front of 
me when standing if I use the 40-cell one. If I use the 20-cell one, 
I hold it in the palm of my left hand, and I put my left wrist 
through the strap so that I won't drop it.

If it would be helpful, I can send you my file of contemporary 
Christian music words.

Blessings,

Linda
