It would be easier to scan the booklet and set the phone up higher and print off the info.  Just a suggestion.

Hi Richard,

Will see what I can do from here.

Here is a suggestion: Some of us at one point of time before losing their sight completely, they were using magnifiers and now they are not using them at all. How about collecting those from all chapters and pass them on to the Church. If they are too many, we'll pass them to other  churches and build some relationships with them. Or probably do what we did with old canes such as creating "Umagnifiergive" - thinking loud.

Have a great day.

Hello Mr. Payne - My name is Alycia Orcena and I work with Epworth UMC church in Marion, Ohio. I have several Sunday school classes with older individuals and they are struggling to see the pages in their bibles. I am searching for larger print bibles, but even the larger print is only about 12 point font. I wondered if you could point me in the right direction to find book magnifiers, something simple they could lay on the bibles when they are reading them in their classes. I looked through Amazon and see a wide variety of things, but just would like some recommendations of what would work best and where to buy it for the best price. Thank you for any assistance.  Alycia
