Volunteer work in community

I enjoyed teaching Sunday school at New Life Bible Church in Orange City, Fl. from 2000 until 2017. From 2012 until 2017 I ran a food ministry under the direction of New Life Bible Church. We served people who had just undergone surgery, lost a loved one, experienced a major illness, or just had a brand new baby. We usually delivered meals for up to one week. I am currently teaching Sunday school at Bible Chapel of Debary since we relocated here in 2017.

I was blessed to be able to spend the final days (under supervision of Hospice) with 2 family members, including my father and my mother-in-law. :-)
