Ministry opportunities

Taught Sunday School 5th & 6th grade boys at Sable Baptist Church during college & medical school. Adult Sunday School teacher at several churches in Wichita, KS. In 1980 my vacular interventional nurse told me her church sunday school class needed a teacher for the summer. That fall I was asked to continue teaching the class which I did until 2020 (COVID). I did Men’s fellowship ministry at another church in Wichita. I have also done Sunday messages at several churches we attended including Wichita, KS churches.

Have assembled 10 note books of Sunday School lessons and messages, many of which are published in this blog.
