[Perform-Talk] Any church music directors out there?

[Linda Mentink]

I worked as a choir director, and was involved in a church with a blind organist. Unfortunately, there are too many churches where the leadership does not want blind people to worship, much less be involved in any area of responsibility where they are gifted by God. I would be willing to talk to you, if I could be of any assistance and encouragement.

Blessings,

Linda
