Subject: [Faith-talk] Sharing blindness skills at church

Sunday we were teaching the children in Sunday school about the parable of 
the Mustardseed and how you have to believe in things you cannot see. Being 
new to the church, I decided that I would talk to my teacher I teach with 
Dusty if I could talk about trusting my keen and Blind the skills. It worked 
out wonderfully! Unfortunately we have very few children in Sunday school 
but I had great questions from kids three years to nine years. I told him to 
go and tell their parents and their teachers and Grandparents and anyone 
else that it was OK to ask us questions and to not be afraid of us. My 
co-teacher sent me some pictures however sharing them here wouldn't be of 
much use to most of you. But it really went great. My boyfriend and I are 
going to do a meet and greet/question and answer. One Sunday after the 
service during coffee time. We tried to get it scheduled during meet the 
blind month but it didn't work. Any day is a good day to meet a blind person 
in my opinion, so we have it scheduled for November. :-) Will share how it 
goes and we're still planning to have it taped on Chad's phone so we can 
share it with everybody. It will go on the church website as well. :-)
