[nagdu] Churches

Hi Bertha,
I would just go to a church you think you might feel comfortable in without calling them. I have gone to many churchs, temples and never had a problem. Since we don't have bus service here on sunday I go to the old steeple church on monday where my blind group meets . There are other people with guide dogs and we are welcomed by the minister. so on monday we have part of the sunday service for those of us who can't go on sunday. Also you can watch a religious service on TV but I know its not the same as being with a group. You can also try contacting other blind people with dogs who live in your city or town to see where they go.
