All of our Sunday school classes are\ncurrently taught by couples, including our beginner\u2019s class. Our current deacon is also beginning to preach\noccasionally. The men often fill in for Steve when he has to be out of town. God continues to encourage us\nthrough the ministry to which He has called us.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our home school co-op had opportunities to sing in church and at the elderly center.
