[Faith-Talk] getting involved in church

[David Moore]

That is great!
Many times, I have to just explain to the church leaders how I can do things, and they are excited to let me participate. Once I prove myself with one task, then they totally believe in me.
You really have to reach out, and promote yourself, just like on the job!

Oh, yeah, Ericka, thanks for reminding me—when we are serving Communion by having everyone line up and walk to us individually, that is when I get to do it—at the altar, it’s harder, so I don’t do that one. I also serve as liturgist about 6 times yearly, with my Braille NIV—occasionally doing extemp opening and illumination prayer, sometimes finding some I have Brailled off the computer beforehand. So, you just really need to either find a church that is already open to letting us serve, or that’s open-hearted enough to be swayed if they’re a little trepidatious at first. I think writing the series on blindness for the newsletter helped open some hearts to hanging out with me in general, so a presentation or writing about blindness can also change fallow ground.

No worries about the letter, BTW—that can be a special Christmas present this year, ha, ha! Whenever you have time, I will be thrilled to get it!
