[Faith-Talk] Braille Hymnals

Sun Jan 16 00:55:40 UTC 2022

I wasn't thinking technology;  I was thinking like a bake sale or a small-town 
something.  I don't know if you live in a small town or the country or what. 
Maybe a note in a newspaper could alert someone that there is a need they could 
help to fill.  Is your church small, like a lot of churches?

Good ideas BRUCE&JOY. Too many of our members are not technical to do something 
like a fundraiser over media. Fundraising is just out of the question at this 
time.
