[Faith-talk] accessibility of church service material

[tina birenbaum]

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
