[Faith-talk] videos in church services

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
They show the words to the hymns on a video in my church.  It helps the rest 
of them, but not me.  I am always glad when we sing something I know or the 
song repeats itself.
They sometimes show other videos and that does exclude me.
Thanks
Lauren

arm around your shoulder and it changed you.  Their encouragement became the 
cure for your grief, your discouragement or your loneliness.  You can be 
that encourager for others in need." --Bob Patterson
